Definition

A simplified planar vehicle-dynamics model that collapses left/right wheel pairs into a single front and single rear track (single-track abstraction) to represent lateral motion and yaw dynamics, typically using lateral tire cornering stiffnesses and small-angle assumptions to analyze steering response, understeer/oversteer and yaw-rate behavior.
