Abstract
The paper elaborates a mathematical model in order to study the dynamics of tractor-trailer systems during braking. The braking dynamics is analyzed by considering two versions for the tractor’s braking system: 1) braking applied on the rear wheels and 2) braking applied on all four wheels. In both versions the trailer is braked on all wheels. This model enables us to determine the evolution of the following parameters: braking deceleration, braking forces, and force at the tractor-trailer hitch point. The authors present applications of the mathematical model elaborated on a tractor-trailer system used for transportation works.
