When the vehicle runs on a rough road we will consider five objective functions, or objectives, or performance of the vehicle, which are namely:
  1. the discomfort;
  2. the standard deviation of the radial force on the front tyre;
  3. the standard deviation of the radial force on the rear tyre;
  4. the standard deviation of relative displacement of the front wheel-body;
  5. the standard deviation of relative displacement of the rear wheel-body.
So we have 41 objectives to be accounted for when we have to optimise a vehicle system.
