Abstract :In this study, a 39 degree-of-freedom mass-spring-damper model of a vehicle was developed. The model consists of 4 parts: wheels and suspensions, vehicle body, seats, and passengers. A human model with 7 degrees of freedom was used to model the passengers. Equations of motion were obtained by drawing the free body diagram of each part. In order to solve the obtained equations of motion numerically, a model was created in the Simulink environment. To verify the accuracy of the outputs from the Simulink model, the script was written using the Python programming language. The developed model was tested by applying a road profile. Outputs from the Simulink model and test script are in agreement with each other and with the literature. Thanks to this study, the situations that affect passenger and driving comfort during vehicle design will be examined in detail with less experimentation.Keywords : Vehicle model, Simulink, Mathematical modelling, Passenger, 39 DOF
