In the research of vehicle handling stability, it is important to analyze the vehicle driving stability region based on the driving torque and the front wheel steering angle bifurcation characteristics. Therefore, further simplifying and optimizing the method of solving the vehicle driving stability region is very useful. This paper proposes a new method for solving driving stability region based on dissipation of energy for the first time. This method has clear physical significance, and has a lot of advantages comparing with the classic methods: (1) The dissipation of energy is a quantitative indicator. (2) The calculation equation is simpler, and the calculation process is more intuitive. (3) This method is easier to expand, such as solving the driving stability region for higher degrees of freedom model.
