Design and validation of active trailer steering systems for articulated heavy vehicles using driver-hardware-in-the-loop real-time simulation
(2015-08-01)To improve the low-speed maneuverability and high-speed lateral stability of Double Trailer Articulated Heavy Vehicles (DTAHVs), an Active Trailer Steering (ATS) system has been designed. To date, investigations on ATS ... -
Design of active trailer steering systems for long combination vehicles using robust control techniques
(2017-07-01)The exponential growth in freightage and the ever-increasing traffic congestion has aided Long Combination Vehicles (LCVs) to emerge as an economical and pragmatic solution for freight transport compared to single unit ... -
Design of robust active trailer steering controllers for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles using software/hardware-in-the-loop real-time simulations
(2019-08-01)Due to their remarkable economic and environmental benefits, Multi-Trailer Articulated Heavy Vehicles (MTAHVs) have been frequently adopted by the trucking industry. Despite the above advantages, MTAHVs exhibit two particular ... -
Parallel design optimization of multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles with active safety systems
(2013-04-01)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 ...
