From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

• Vehicle dynamics is the Dynamics of Vehicles, here assumed to be ground vehicles.

(For the dynamics of air vehicles see Aerodynamics.)

It is a part of engineering primarily based on classical mechanics but it may also involve chemistry, solid state physics, electrical engineering, communications, psychology etc.
