To Determine Stability of the Road Train With O1-Category Trailer

Abstract

In the work improved system of equation of plane-parallel movement of the road train with single-axle O1-category trailer. Defined lateral reactions on the vehicle and trailer wheels at body roll, wheels slip caused by body roll and also developed road train spatial mathematical model in a transverse plane. This model is used to study the road train course stability with O1-category trailer. It is shown that the spatial model of road train with no vehicle and trailer wheels inclination has the same divergent instability characteristic as the plane road train layout.
