I’ve just implemented anti-roll bars<\/a> in Vehicle Physics Pro<\/a>. Here you can see the effect of this component graphically:<\/p>\n

In this chart\u00a0the horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis\u00a0is the distance to the suspension limits. The higher the line, the more extended the suspension. The lower the line, the more compressed the suspension. If the line\u00a0touches the lower bound\u00a0then that suspension is fully compressed and it’s\u00a0hitting the\u00a0bounds.<\/p>\n

These are the events we can see at this chart:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The vehicle begins a strong turn to the left. The outer\u00a0suspensions get compressed (blue and cyan lines), while the inner\u00a0suspensions get extended (yellow and red lines). The rear right suspension compress so much that it hits the bounds\u00a0(blue line below the limit).<\/li>\n
  2. The anti-roll bar component is enabled<\/strong>. This anti roll bar\u00a0is applied\u00a0on the\u00a0front axle only. Thus, the outer front suspension\u00a0(cyan)\u00a0is suddenly extended. It also has the effect of taking the outer rear suspension out of the limit, as well as balancing the entire rear axle, greatly improving the vehicle’s stability during the turn.<\/li>\n
  3. The anti-roll bar is disabled. The suspension returns to the previous state without anti-roll bar.<\/li>\n
  4. The anti-roll bar is enabled again, and the vehicle gets balanced. The strong turn comes to an end.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Anti-roll bars<\/a> are a great device used in most cars for improving handling and safety. They can now be used in Vehicle Physics Pro<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
