What VehicleLab currently verifies
Trust has an evidence boundary.
Verification checks the stated equations and their implementation. Independent numerical reference comparison and convergence test numerical behavior. A published numerical reproduction compares one mathematical-model result with a traceable source. Physical correlation requires measured data and intended-use criteria.
These evidence levels are distinct. Physical test correlation has not been performed for any VehicleLab model.

Full Car · 7 DOF
vehiclelab.full-car.geometry-passive v1.0.0Passive 7-DOF Double-Wishbone force mapping: direct/compiled kinematics, energy gradients, virtual-work power, design-rate conversion, geometry sensitivity, persistence and exact Worker parity. Historical linear state-space/reduction checks remain independent references.

Double Wishbone — Kinematics Verification
Independent Cartesian geometry and analytical derivatives verify three compatible planar mechanisms over finite travel. Standalone component evidence is separate from Full-Car passive force, energy and power checks. No compatible published suspension reproduction or physical correlation is claimed.
Review independent suspension evidence →Road, traversal and OpenCRG
RD001–RD010 and CRG001–CRG016 cover road evaluation, derived corner excitation, supported imports and explicit rejection boundaries. This is numerical verification of the supported straight-road workflow, not certification or validation of the source measurement.
Review Road & OpenCRG evidence →Published numerical benchmark
One traceable Quarter-Car reproduction.
Zhao et al. 2015 passive Case 2 uses 5,003 published/independent reference points. Reproduced within digitization-aware tolerance. This is a published numerical reproduction; physical vehicle correlation has not been performed.
No dedicated external published Half-Car or Full-Car reproduction is currently claimed.
Browse Literature Benchmarks →Evidence methodology
Analytical invariants, independent implementations, model reduction, full-resolution acceptance, convergence and exact Worker parity answer different verification questions.
Review verification & validation methods →Evidence boundaries
Generic presets are not named production vehicles. Linear passive models retain their documented limits. Numerical agreement does not establish certification, homologation or safety suitability.
