Research on solving the equilibrium point of 5DOF vehicle dynamics system based on homotopy method by Shuming Shi, Boshi Zhang, Zehui Ma, Qingchen Cheng, Guanghui Chen, Nan Lin

“…In order to quickly and accurately solve the equilibrium point of 5DOF vehicle dynamics, this paper proposes a method for solving the equilibrium point of 5DOF vehicle dynamics based on the homotopy characteristics of the vehicle dynamics system, and compares the solution results and efficiency of the method with those of genetic algorithm and quasi-Newton algorithm. The results show that the homotopy method can make full use of the precise numerical solution of the equilibrium point of the 2DOF vehicle model, and realize the optimal solution of the equilibrium point of the 5DOF vehicle dynamics model, and can achieve both computational accuracy and computational efficiency.…”
