Abstract

The stability of heavy vehicles is an issue that has been worked on in recent times. For this, several models that allow to determine how prone a vehicle is to rollover have been developed. However, most of these models use fixed loads to take their measurements without including shifting loads that in certain cases decrease the stability of the vehicles. With this in mind, this article proposes a two-dimensional kinematic model to determine the Static Rollover Threshold (SRT) using the Davies Method as an analysis tool. Lastly, a case study is carried out to determine the influence of the load on the reduction of vehicle stability.
