| Popis: |
By increasing the overall length and weight of commercial vehicles, the transport efficiency and road utilization will be improved and the C02 emissions can be reduced by some 30%. Over the past years experiments are carried out in the Netherlands with special vehicle combinations having an overall length of up to 25.25 meter and a total mass of up to 60 tons. Since these vehicles are typically intended for long distance road transport, they are not allowed (or only with additional abatements) to drive through villages, cities or on local roads. Furthermore it can be noted that roll-over of conventional commercial vehicles is already a major issue on the densely populated roads of the Netherlands. This marked the starting point of a simulation study, which was executed at the Eindhoven University of Technology. The aim is to investigate the behaviour of these new vehicle combinations, with an emphasis on the lateral dynamics at high forward velocities (highway driving). |
