INTRODUCTION Dynamic simulation based on modeling of designed systems has an important role in motor vehicles development process. In practice, a whole range of vehicle models is used [4, 5, 7-13, 23]. Let’s assume that a mechanical model of the observed motor vehicle is described, in general, by differential equation [5, 6]: (1) where: Z - is a vector of generalized coordinates of the vibration system, A - is a vector of system vibration parameters, U - is a vector of control functions, L - is a function that considers random variations of vibration parameters characteristics during vehicle exploitation, Q - is excitation time function (originating from road roughness, engine operation, unbalanced masses, tire nonuniformity) and t - is time. General solution of the differential equation (1) may be written in the following form [3]: (2) A simple case is when there are no control functions (U=0) and changes in vibration parameters during exploitation are not considered (L=0): (3) Simplification given by equation (3) is most frequently used in practice - the influence of the length of exploitation on change of vehicle’s vibration parameters is neglected. However, it represents a major simplification, because data from [21] show that deterioration of the mentioned vibration parameters does exist. 2. SELECTION OF A MODEL Structure of a vehicle model is selected depending on the quantities that should be observed. In this case, an oscillatory model from [8] is used that is acceptable because it includes influences of all vibration parameters, as well as parameters of tire nonuniformity, during a vehicle straight line drive. The observed model is presented in Figure 1 and it enables the analysis of: longitudinal, q(1), lateral, q(2), and vertical vibrations, q(3), as well as roll, q(4), p
