Abstract
This paper is aiming to study the effect of the aerodynamic drag force parameters which represents the air resistance on a vehicle motion performance, these parameters includes air density, aerodynamic drag coefficient, the equivalent frontal area of the vehicle, and Head-wind velocity. The complete vehicle was studied under different values of each parameter. Four mathematical equations of forces acting on a vehicle will be used to implement the Matlab Simulink model; these forces are Tractive, Aerodynamic, Gravitational, and rolling force. Various computer simulation results show significant differences of the vehicle motion and behaviour at some of aerodynamic drag force parameters.
