Discrete Tire Model Application for Vehicle Dynamics Performance Enhancement
… and transmit forces necessary for the driver to control the vehicle. The demand for the tire models are increasing due to the need to study the variations of force generation mechanisms due to various variables such as load, pressure, speed, and road surface irregularities. Another need from the …

Experimental Evaluation of Roll Stability Control System Effectiveness for A-double Commercial Trucks
… (CVeSS) at Virginia Tech for evaluating the roll stability of commercial trucks with 33-ft A-double trailers are evaluated. The study includes straight-rail trailers with heavy and light loading conditions. Commercial trucks are more susceptible to rollovers than passenger cars because of their …

Roll and Yaw Stability Evaluation of Class 8 Trucks with Single and Dual Trailers in Low- and High-speed Driving Conditions
A comprehensive evaluation of roll and yaw stability of tractor/semitrailers with single and dual trailers in city and highway conditions is conducted. Commercial vehicles fundamentally behave differently in city driving conditions than at high speeds during highway driving conditions. In order to …
