چکیده

The rollover accidents in the tractor semi-trailer are often fatal and many factors could cause the tractor semitrailer rollover. In this paper, a rollover prevention control method was proposed based on real-time calculation of rollover index. The vehicle Center of Gravity CG height from the ground is an important parameter in the rollover index and it is estimated through lateral acceleration sensor and suspension deflection sensors. Comparing the rollover index with the preset threshold, the differential braking will be applied to corresponding wheels once the trigger conditions are met. A roll stability control simulation was performed on the dynamic model based on virtual prototyping. The results show that the rollover prevention control proposed in this paper can stabilize the tractor semi-trailer and prevent from rollover on high speed curve driving.

Assessing the Effect of Chassis Torsional Stiffness on Tractor Semi-trailer Rollover

The semi-trailer chassis was usually treated as rigid body in many existing literature, which would lead to larger deviation from actual situation. A rigid semi-trailer chassis model was built and flexiblized based on the modal test results in this paper. The tractor semi-trailer with flexible chassis was utilized to simulate the rollover scenarios on high speed obstacle avoidance under emergen...
