Abstract

Demanding higher travel velocities of rigid body articulated wheeled vehicles and maintaining high safety while moving on stiff ground requires finding more accurate methods of adjusting steering angle between rigid frames and using special solutions allowing the driver keeping desired path. In this article, identification of factors affecting directional stability is discussed. A new mathematical algorithm for estimating vehicles directional stability is proposed and tested. Computer simulations of methods counteracting snaking behavior indicates that the speed limit of 50–60 km/h for articulated rigid body vehicles can be exceeded by using new solutions.
