    Abstract

    This study focuses on the affect of vehicle combination configuration and loading parameters on handling and stability. The behaviour of vehicle combinations is studied with open- and closed loop manoeuvres using multi-body models. Experimental measures made with a heavy vehicle combination are used to verify the models. This study gives information for authorities and drivers about the influence of design parameters and loading on vehicle stability from the point of view of traffic safety. This study continues the work made for Ministry of Transport and Communications of Finland.
