The current tendency to reduce the weight of vehicles having a low C_D value causes the decrease in stability against side winds. When a vehicle goes out of a tunnel or across a bridge, it is sometimes subjected to a strong-side-wind gust and the driving security is greatly decreased. In order to make safer vehicles, it is important to clarify the vehicle behavior and the steering response when it is subjected to the winds. In this paper, an experimental method has been developed to apply a yawing moment to a vehicle. A yawing moment equivalent to that due to the wind gusts is generated by a compact, high-pressure water-jet unit mounted inside the test vehicle. Test results showed that this method is valid for studying vehicle behavior and driver's response to side-wind gusts.
