Investigation of Driving Stability of a Vehicle–Trailer Combination Depending on the Load’s Position Within the Trailer

Abstract Passenger cars are a means of transportation used widely for various purposes. The category that vehicle belongs to is largely responsible determining its size and storage capacity. There situations when the capacity passenger not sufficient. On one hand, this insufficient related paucity in space needed stowing luggage. It possible mount rooftop cargo carrier or roof basket on vehicle. If equipped with towbar, towbar can be improving These accessories, however, offer limited additional space, maximal load determined by payload concerned If, other there requirement transporting mass dimensions greater than what could supported using these then, provided trailer represents an elegant solution such demanding requirements. A standard flat allows goods characters, as pallets, bulk material, etc. However, towing changes distribution loads, together loads individual axes vehicle–trailer axles. key factors affecting driving properties combination terms stability, which mainly function trailer. This research introduces study into how influences stability combination. activities based simulation computations performed commercial multibody software. While results presented article reached particular well set conditions, applicability findings also extended more generally impact distributions corresponding combinations have parameters properties.
