Abstract
Analysis of transverse stability parameters of hybrid buses with active trailers
Highlights
The dynamic properties of motion, stability and vehicle handling, to a large extent, ensure the safety of traffic
In most countries, according to UN/ECE Regulation No 36, the overall length of single buses is limited to 12 m, there are combinations with a length of up to 15 m and articulated ones up to 18 m [1]
The application of the computation-analytical method for determining the parameters of the hinge-connected buses (HCBs)’s motion in the horizontal and vertical planes greatly simplifies the definition of these indexes [5]
Summary
The dynamic properties of motion, stability and vehicle handling, to a large extent, ensure the safety of traffic. The problem of determining the conditions of dynamic system stability is sufficiently studied. The main parameters of any vehicle (indicators of its ability to perform its functions) are the overall dimensions, mass parameters, speed and dynamic characteristics of transportation, etc. Acceleration dynamics, stability, handling and especially manoeuvrability are highly important factors in the operation of city buses. In most countries, according to UN/ECE Regulation No 36, the overall length of single buses is limited to 12 m, there are combinations with a length of up to 15 m and articulated ones up to 18 m [1]
