The maximum lateral acceleration (aLmax) can be found this way: (more)

(1) |
Where K is defined by the smallest value of:
|
And:
ρ | = atmospheric air density (= 1.225 kg/m³) |
CLA | = Lift factor |
v | = vehicle speed |
m | = vehicle mass |
g | = gravitational acceleration (= 9.80665 m/s²) |
μ | = tire-road friction coefficient |
T | = vehicle track |
h | = vehicle center of gravity height |
*Note: If aerodynamic effects are omitted (CLA = 0), then aLmax = Kg.
