The desired parameters are the dynamic parameters of the car and the parameters of the suspension and the tires. The kinematics and dynamic models are automatically calculated using the software package SYMORO+. The identification is based on the use of the inverse dynamic model. Parameters areestimated using a weighted least squares method. The weighting procedure is developed. Practical results are given for a 406 Peugeot car.}, keywords = {parameter identification, automobile, dynamic modelling, least squares.}, }
