Coordinated control of active safety systems for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles
To improve the directional performance of multitrailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs), the model-based active safety systems, including the active trailer steering, trailer differential braking and the active roll control are developed. The active safety systems are integrated and coordinated …

Parallel design optimization of multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles with active safety systems
Multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs) exhibit unstable motion modes at high speeds, including jack-knifing, trailer swing, and roll-over. These unstable motion modes may lead to fatal accidents. On the other hand, these vehicle combinations have poor maneuverability at low speeds. Of …

Experimental Evaluation of Roll Stability Control System Effectiveness for A-double Commercial Trucks
… 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 higher center of gravity relative to their track …

High-speed lateral stability analysis of articulated heavy vehicles using driver-in-the-loop real time simulation
… for evaluating the lateral stability of multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHV) include the use of both an open-loop and a closed-loop maneuvers as specified in ISO-14791. The standard testing procedures are used to determine the Rearward Amplification (RA), which is a …
