Analysis of bifurcation and stability for a tractor semi-trailer in planar motion

Abstract: This paper is intended for bifurcation analysis of a nonlinear tractor semi-trailer vehicle model in planar motion and for investigating its stability under constant running conditions. Bifurcation analysis shows that bifurcation diagrams of a tractor semi-trailer are quite different from those of a single-unit vehicle. Some instability phenomena of the vehicle system such as jackknifing, sideslip, and spinning are explained by correlating them with the behaviour in the neighbourhood of unstable fixed points b… Show more

“…Ding et al 23 trace the stability region of a nonlinear model of a tractor–semitrailer combination using the phase trajectory method. The variation of this region is also presented as a function of the vehicle speed and road-tire friction coefficient.…”

“…In connection with the proposed further experiments with this installa tion and its improvement, attention is drawn to specialized studies on unstable driving conditions at high velocities [13]. And also on the features of the synthesis of safe control for AHV (Articulated Heavy Vehicle) systems [14]. Of particular interest are studies of the stability of the yaw of a tractorsemitrailer system in constant driving conditions, analyzed using the theory of bifurcations [15].…”

“…To protect the vehicle from spinning and realize improved cornering performance, van de Molengraft-Luijten et al employed the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion and bifurcation theory method to get a system equilibrium approximation near the zero value for the forward speed and front wheel steering angle, which revealed the vehicle's instability under high speeds and substantial steering [6,7]. Similarly, Ding et al explained some instability phenomena of the vehicle system such as jackknifing, sideslip, and spinning by correlating them with the behavior in the neighborhood of unstable fixed points based on analysis of eigenvectors, phase trajectories, and status of lateral tire force saturation [8].
