ISO 13674-2:2016(E)
Introduction
The main purpose of this part of ISO 13674 is to provide repeatable and discriminatory test results.
The dynamic behaviour of a road vehicle is a very important aspect of active vehicle safety. Any given
vehicle, together with its driver and the prevailing environment, constitutes a closed-loop system that
is unique. The task of evaluating the dynamic behaviour is therefore very difficult since the significant
interaction of these driver-vehicle-environment elements are each complex in themselves. A complete
and accurate description of the behaviour of the road vehicle must necessarily involve information
obtained from a number of different tests.
Since this test method quantifies only one small part of the complete vehicle handling characteristics,
the results of these tests can only be considered significant for a correspondingly small part of the
overall dynamic behaviour.
Moreover, insufficient knowledge is available concerning the relationship between overall vehicle
dynamic properties and accident avoidance. A substantial amount of work is necessary to acquire
sufficient and reliable data on the correlation between accident avoidance and vehicle dynamic
properties in general and the results of these tests in particular. Consequently, any application of this
test method for regulation purposes will require proven correlation between test results and accident
statistics.

Road vehicles — Test method for the quantification of on-
centre handling —
Part 2:
Transition test
1 Scope
This part of ISO 13674 specifies a test schedule that addresses a particular aspect of the transition test,
the on-centre handling characteristics of a vehicle. It is applicable to passenger cars in accordance with
ISO 3833 and to light trucks, N1 category.
NOTE The manoeuvre specified in this test method is not representative of real driving conditions,
but is useful for obtaining measures of vehicle on-centre handling behaviour in response to a specific type of
steering input under closely controlled test conditions. Other aspects of on-centre handling are addressed in the
companion ISO 13674-1.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms, definitions and symbols
For the purposes of this document, the terms, definitions and symbols given in ISO 1176, ISO 2416,
ISO 3833, ISO 8855 and the following apply.
3.1
on-centre handling
description of the steering “feel” and steering precision of a vehicle during nominally straight-line
driving and in negotiating large radius bends at high speeds but low lateral accelerations
3.2
ordinate threshold
value of a parameter plotted as the ordinate on a graph and defined as the minimum threshold of human
perception
3.3

ISO 13674-2:2016(E)
3.4
gradient
ratio of change in the ordinate with respect to a unit change in the abscissa, for a straight-line fit to a
pair of recorded variables plotted one against the other on Cartesian coordinates
4 Principle
On-centre handling represents that part of the straight-line directional stability characteristics of the
2
vehicle existing at low lateral acceleration levels, typically no greater than 1 m/s . On-centre handling
is concerned primarily with features that directly influence the driver’s steering input, such as steering
system and tyre characteristics. Thus, test schedules for the evaluation of on-centre handling behaviour
seek to minimize other factors that influence the wider aspects of straight-line directional stability,
such as disturbance inputs due to ambient winds and road irregularities.
This part of ISO 13674 defines test schedules that involve driving the vehicle in a nominally straight line
at a constant forward speed. During the tests, driver inputs and vehicle responses are measured and
recorded. From the recorded signals, characteristic values are calculated.
5 Variables
5.1 Reference system
The variables of motion used to describe vehicle behaviour in a test-specific driving situation shall be
related to the intermediate axis system (X, Y, Z) (see ISO 8855).
The location of the origin of the vehicle axis system (X , Y , Z ) is the reference point and therefore
V V V
should be independent of the loading condition. The origin is therefore fixed in the longitudinal plane of
symmetry at half-wheelbase and at the same height above ground as the centre of gravity of the vehicle
at complete vehicle kerb mass (see ISO 1176).
5.2 Variables to be measured
When using this test method, the following variables shall be measured:
— steering-wheel angle, δ ;
H
— steering-wheel torque, M ;
H
— yaw velocity, dψ / dt;
— longitudinal velocity, v ;
x
— lateral acceleration, a (see the NOTE to 6.2).
y
The following variables should be measured:
— steering-wheel angular velocity, dδ / dt;
H
— roll angle, ψ.
The variables are defined in ISO 8855.
In order to acquire a deeper understanding of the vehicle behaviour, it may be desirable to determine
motions of various components within the steering system, especially for vehicles with more than one
steering axle.

6 Measuring equipment
6.1 Description
The measuring equipment shall be in accordance with ISO 15037-1.
Typical operating ranges and recommended maximum errors of the combined transducer and recording
system are shown in Table 1.
NOTE It is advisable that care be taken to ensure that friction or inertia added to the system by steering
robot or steering transducers does not improperly influence the measurement of steering-wheel torque.
Table 1 — Variables, typical operating ranges and recommended maximum errors
Recommended maximum error of the
a
Variable Typical operating range combined transducer and recorder
b
system
Steering-wheel angle ±50° ±0,1°
Steering-wheel torque ±10 Nm ±0,1 Nm
Yaw velocity ±10 °/s ±0,1 °/s
Longitudinal velocity 0 – 50 m/s ±0,5 m/s
2 2
Lateral acceleration ±5 m/s ±0,1 m/s
Steering-wheel angular velocity ±100 °/s ±1 °/s
Roll angle ±5° ±0,05°
Transducers for measuring some of the listed variables are not widely available and are not in general use. Many such
instruments are developed by users. If any system error exceeds the recommended maximum value, this and the actual
maximum error shall be stated in the test report (ISO 15037-1:2006, Annex A).
a
These transducer ranges are appropriate for the standard test conditions and may not be suitable for non-standard
test conditions.
b
The values for maximum errors are provisional until more experience and data are available.
6.2 Transducer installations
The transducers shall be installed according to the manufacturers’ instructions, where such instructions
exist, so that the variables corresponding to the terms and definitions of ISO 8855 can be determined.
If a transducer does not measure a variable directly, appropriate transformations into the specified
reference system shall be carried out.
NOTE Lateral acceleration, as defined, is measured in the intermediate XY plane. However, for the purpose
of this test procedure, measurement of “sideways” acceleration in the vehicle X Y plane (i.e. corrupted by vehicle
v v
roll) is typically adequate, provided that the roll angle versus lateral acceleration characteristic for the vehicle is
known and an appropriate correction in respect of roll angle can be made to the “sideways” acceleration.
6.3 Data processing
See ISO 15037-1:2006, 4.3.
7 Test conditions
7.1 General
General comments relating to test conditions are given in ISO 15037-1:2006, Clause 5.

ISO 13674-2:2016(E)
7.2 Test track
The test track requirements shall be in accordance with those of ISO 15037-1:2006, 5.2. In addition, the
lateral gradient of the test surface should not exceed 1 %.
7.3 Wind velocity
During a test, the ambient wind velocity shall not exceed 5 m/s when measured at a height above
ground of not less than 1 m. Ideally, the maximum ambient wind velocity should not exceed 1,5 m/s. If
this cannot be achieved, then conditions of significant “gusting” should be avoided, i.e. testing should be
avoided in conditions where changes in wind velocity exceed a range of 1,5 m/s. In the event that the
ambient velocity exceeds 1,5 m/s or the range of “gusting” exceeds 1,5 m/s, or both, the vehicle should
be tested in a direction such that the ambient wind is a tail wind. For each test, the climatic conditions
shall be recorded in the test report (see ISO 15037-1:2006, Annex B).
Where measurement of wind velocity is not possible, estimation by use of the Beaufort scale is suggested
(see Table 2).
