Justification. The current trend towards the use of electric buses has been growing in the last few years. Articulated electric buses also enter the routes. These vehicles, due to the presence of heavy traction batteries mainly on the roof, have a tendency to an increased roll angle and a tendency to roll over. Therefore, there is a need to apply anti-rollover measures for such vehicles.
The purpose of the work – development of a law and a control algorithm that allows reducing the torque to reduce the tendency of an articulated electric bus to overturn
Materials and methods. During the development and research of the algorithm, the MATLABSimulink simulation environment is used with the developed mathematical model of spatial motion of an articulated electric bus.
Results. The derivation of formulas for calculating the critical turning speed of sections for articulated vehicles is presented, an algorithm and a traction control law are formulated depending on the turning parameters, graphs are presented that substantiate the operability and effectiveness of the algorithms.
Conclusion. The practical value of the developed algorithm lies in its practical application on an articulated vehicle in order to reduce the tendency to increased roll angles and rollover protection.
