The design of modern road vehicles is increasingly complex, requiring a balance between driver-oriented performance and advancements in vehicle automation. Despite the shift towards automated driving, a driver-centric approach remains essential in chassis design, particularly in optimizing handling, safety, and comfort. A structured methodology is necessary to synthesize chassis systems effectively while considering external demands and internal vehicle dynamics. The cornering compliance concept provides a simplified yet effective framework for assessing vehicle handling by consolidating design parameters into front and rear axle cornering compliance. This approach aids in evaluating directional control and optimizing chassis characteristics. A key challenge in vehicle dynamics is harmonizing various attributes-such as driving pleasure and safety-while maintaining an integrated systems perspective. By establishing performance requirements through expert judgment and data-driven analysis, engineers can enhance the interaction between the driver and vehicle. This study explores the application of a driver-oriented methodology in chassis design, focusing on achieving balanced vehicle dynamics through systematic evaluation and optimization.
