Abstract
Steering stability of tractor-trailer vehicles has been studied in general by root locus analysis of lateral motions, or measuring their damping ratios. However, in actual driving, it is necessary to establish a handling performance index taking driver's maneuver and off-tracking of trailer into consideration. By the analysis of a driver-tractor-trailer system, an appropriate index for objective handling evaluation is proposed and three types of safety drive limit are investigated. Consequently, many design parameters can be easyily optimized for better handling performance.
