Abstract

The most common causes of accidents involving trailer are poor environmental conditions, materials from which trailers are built, inappropriate assembly processes (incorrectly made welds, choosing screws or placing them so that they cannot withstand loads etc.), the inadequacy of the vehicle's speed to the runway quality, the detachment of the trailer from the towing hitch attached to the vehicle, lack of verification of the condition of the trailer (worn tires, the absence of the braking system, damaged of the resistance elements), the resonance of the trailer or the lack of attention of the drivers in traffic. The paper presents the experimental researches performed on a real trailer with one axle attached to a vehicle and driven on a road with and without obstacles. So, the influence of uncontrolled disturbing dynamic effects was analyzed based on acceleration signals recorded during test.
