Bosenko V. Improving the maneuverability and stability of the road trains for the transportation of long loads

The dissertation is devoted to increase of indicators of maneuverability and stability of truck trains by a rational choice of their design parameters and the law of control of wheels (axles) of semi-trailers. Mathematical models of road train movement have been developed, which allow to predict the maneuverability and stability of a road train at the design stage according to the given design parameters, reducing the time and costs for creating new and modernizing existing road trains; the value of the braking torque on the wheels of the trolley of the semi–trailer, which provides satisfactory parameters of maneuverability and stability of the road train. The use of the proposed control system of the wheels (axles) of semi–trailers allows to reduce the overall lane of the road train by an average of 32%.
