Automotive ISO Standards – Simulation

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) has several standards related to automotive dynamics simulations, some of the most relevant are:

• ISO 4138: Road vehicles – Vehicle dynamics and road-holding ability – Vocabulary.
• ISO 7401: Road vehicles – Lateral transient response test methods – Open-loop test methods.
• ISO 8855: Road vehicles – Cornering test methods – Double lane-change test.
• ISO 12029: Road vehicles – Braking test methods for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles – Part 1: Performance on dry and wet surfaces.
• ISO 13232: Road vehicles – Braking test methods for heavy commercial vehicles – Performance requirements and test procedures.
• ISO 21448: (SOTIF), Focuses on the Safety of the Intended Functionality.

These standards provide guidelines for various aspects of automotive dynamics simulations, such as terminology, testing methods, and performance requirements. They help to ensure that automotive simulations are conducted in a consistent and standardized way, which can improve the accuracy and reliability of simulation results.
