“…Shuwen Zhou developed lateral stability control of car-trailer combination based on a dynamic model built in CarSim [7]. Santhosh Chandrasekharan developed a roll stability control system model to be used in conjunction with a vehicle dynamic model of a 6x4 tractor and trailer built in TruckSim [8,9]. More complex multi-body dynamic models are built in MSC.…”

With a classical 4 degrees of freedom linear dynamic model of vehicle-trailer system in the yaw plane, preliminary study on lateral stability is carried out by means of analyzing systems damping ratio. The results show that structural parameters have important influence on lateral stability of vehicle-trailer system. Based on that study, a concept of critical velocity with zero damping ratio as an index is present. With the help of MSC.ADAMS, a multi-body dynamic model of a real vehicle-trailer system is built subsequently and the dynamic responses of vehicle-trailer system running on flat road and rough road is simulated respectively. The simulation results indicated that the characteristics of lateral stability of both of the linear dynamic model and the multi-body dynamic model running on flat road are similar. The critical velocity of multi-body dynamic model running on rough road decreases due to the disturbance from road. Since effects of road, nonlinear wheels, suspension structure and load transfer are taken into consideration, multi-body dynamic model of vehicle-trailer system running on the rough road could be more perfectly characterizing the lateral stability of vehicle-trailer system.

“…In [5], an example of a tractor/trailer vehicle simulation is provided where a TruckSim model and a Simulink model are integrated such that the two models run in parallel. Based on the test data, a Roll Stability Control (RSC) system is developed in Simulink, while the complete vehicle model excluding the RSC system model is developed in TruckSim.…”

In this paper, the computer-aided vehicle dynamics analysis of a 6×2 heavy-duty commercial vehicle is examined. For the analysis, Mechanical Simulation Corporation's TruckSim multibody dynamics simulation and SuspensionSim multibody statics simulation softwares are used. The aim of this study is to design and model the front suspension and tandem rear axle suspensions, compose the full-vehicle model representing the real-life vehicle, and examine the dynamic behavior of this model. The models related to the front and rear suspensions are prepared and solved in SuspensionSim and the solutions are imported thereafter to TruckSim. The full-vehicle model excluding the suspension system is formed by using TruckSim. The simulation scenarios, runs of which are made to observe the effects of different parameters concerning the dynamic behavior of the full-vehicle model, are also prepared in TruckSim environment.
