In vehicle dynamics, slip angle or sideslip angle is the angle between the direction in which a wheel is pointing and the direction in which it is actually traveling (i.e., the angle between the forward velocity vector and the vector sum of wheel forward velocity and lateral velocity.
What is a good slip angle?
For race and high performance tires this optimum slip angle is around 6 to 10 degrees while this number is a little lower for street tires. Due to low traction surfaces rally drivers reach even bigger angles. In drifting you probably see the biggest slip angle of all motorsports, sometimes as high as 40 degrees!
How do you find the side angle of a slip?
OBSERVER DESIGN To estimate the vehicle sideslip angle, we estimate the longitudinal and lateral velocities vx and vy at the CG, and then calculate the vehicle sideslip angle from the velocities using the expression ˇ D arctan. vy=vx/.
