Abstract The Magic Formula tyre model can be used In all phases of a vehicle project, from the specifications of a new car to tuning the handling In the final stage of the developement. The applications of the model at Volvo, shown in this paper, are from different parts of this process, with several examples, which together with test results show the wide applicability of the model. The implementation of the model in different simulation programs is also discussed, as well as the creation of model parameters from the measurements. Also, the influence of varying the model parameters on the vehicle behaviour is presented.
