Vehicle parameters and operation conditions play a critical role in vehicular handling and stability. This study aimed to evaluate vehicle stability based on cornering tire stiffness integrated with vehicle parameters. A passenger vehicle is considered in which a two-state linear bicycle model is developed in the Matlab/Simulink. The effect of the vehicle parameters on lateral vehicle stability has been investigated and analyzed. The investigated parameters included CG longitudinal position, wheelbase, and tire cornering stiffness. Furthermore, the effects of load variation and vehicle speed were addressed. Based on a Fishhook steering maneuver, the lateral stability criteria represented in lateral acceleration, yaw rate, vehicle sideslip angle, tire sideslip angles, and the lateral tire force were analyzed. The results demonstrated that the parameters that affect the lateral vehicle stability the most are the cornering stiffness coefficient and the CG longitudinal location. The findings also indicated a positive correlation between vehicle properties and lateral handling and stability.
