Drag force parameters identification for a cargo-bike based on free deceleration measurement
Résumé
Identifying the drag force coefficient and the rolling resistance coefficient of a vehicle is not an easy task, especially when not using a wind tunnel. This paper proposes an easy method using light experimental means to assess these coefficients in the case of a cargo-bike. Free deceleration measurement is performed. An identification method based on the least squares method is then proposed and discussed.
