A Safety Analysis of Left-Turning Maneuvers for Long-Combination Vehicles
… in Ontario using long-combination vehicles (LCVs). LCVs can significantly increase the amount of cargo carried per shipment, while reducing shipping costs and environmental impacts of freight road travel. Questions remain regarding their safety due to their larger size and wider maneuvering. …

Design of active trailer steering systems for long combination vehicles using robust control techniques
… congestion has aided Long Combination Vehicles (LCVs) to emerge as an economical and pragmatic solution for freight transport compared to single unit vehicles. Despite their numerous merits, LCVs face certain stability challenges at high speeds and exhibit inferior maneuverability at low speeds. …

Adaptive IEEE 802.15.4e LLDN scheduler for wireless network control systems
… is the stability of Long Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) using active trailer steering and/or braking. These LCVs rely on sensor data located across different regions of the tractor and trailers and compose the LCV. Communication of the sensor data to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the active …

Directional analysis of an a-train double with damped articulation
… often referred to as Long Combination Vehicles (LCVs), has steadily increased in North America. The directional stability and control limits of most combinations have been adversely affected by the increase in weights and dimensions, which has prompted many concerns related to operational safety …

SPACE-CONSTRAINED AUTONOMOUS REVERSING OF ARTICULATED VEHICLES
… reversing of long combination vehicles (LCVs). These approaches not only significantly improve the performance of previous autonomous reversing systems, but also address a major gap in the reversing control literature for LCVs. The methods were validated by implementing them at full-scale …

Dynamic Modeling and Lateral Stability Analysis of Long Combination Vehicles
… dynamic stability of Long Combination Vehicles (LCVs) that are commonly operated on U.S. highways, using multibody dynamic simulations in MATLAB/Simulink®. The dynamic equations for a tractor with two trailers connected by an A-frame converter dolly (A-Dolly) are developed. The dynamic model is …

Low-Speed Maneuverability, High-Speed Roll-Stability, and Brake Type Performance of Heavy Truck 33-ft Double Trailers
… off-tracking of long combination vehicles (LCVs). Unlike pre-existing models, accuracy of one of the proposed models is largely unaffected by input path resolution and regularity—a significant benefit for reducing computational cost and easing implementation for many applications. Full-scale …
