TL;DR: In this paper, a vehicle includes a motor for propelling the vehicle and at least one active aerodynamic element configured to generate a variable amount of aerodynamic downforce on the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion.

TL;DR: In this article, an aerodynamic control system of a vehicle includes a utilization module that, based on a longitudinal force on a tire in a longitudinal direction and a latitudinal force on the tire on a road surface contacting the tire, determines a utilization force on tire of the vehicle and a direction of utilization force.

TL;DR: In this article, a Fahrzeug beinhaltet zusatzlich eine Steuerung in Kommunikation with dem mindestens eine Fahrereingabesensor und dem mindhestens einen aktiven aerodynamischen Element, das so konfiguriert ist, dass es mindestins das eine aktive aerodynamische Element mindesthens teilweise in Reaktion auf das Mitkopplungssignal regelt.

TL;DR: In this article, an exemplary method of controlling an automotive vehicle includes the steps of providing a first component, providing a second component movably coupled to the first component and configured to actuate the second component between a first position and a second position, providing vehicle sensor configured to measure a vehicle characteristic, providing at least one controller in communication with the actuator and the vehicle sensor, determining a baseline vehicle balance and determining an adjusted vehicle balance based on the measured vehicle characteristic.
