Abstract
The efficiency of the tractor-transport unit is largely due to its mobility, which in turn depends on many interrelated factors, such as handling, stability of movement and agility. One of the most important factors is the turnability, which ensures the ability of the tractor-transport unit to perform curved movement efficiently and safely. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in increasing the efficiency of the tractor-transport unit by using multi-link tractor trains. (Materials and methods) The main deterrent to the use of multi-link tractor trains in the Russian Federation is the increase in the overall width of the turn lane. The article presents a device that allows you to adjust the turning radius of the second trailer in order to optimize the width of the transport corridor. By changing the point of connection of the links in the turn, the movement is stabilized and the width of the transport corridor of the second link (trailer) is adjusted when moving. The article presents parameters of maneuverability of the tractor-transport train. (Results and discussion) The article presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the influence of the design and technological parameters of the proposed device on the maneuverability parameters of multi-link tractor-transport units. (Conclusions) The use of a towing-distributing device allows optimizing the width of the transport corridor of a multi-link tractor-transport unit by changing the turning radius of the second trailer.
