Abstract

The reasons for considering the use of a simulation of an articulated lorry to be a useful tool on the design and safety testing of these vehicles are discussed. The analysis and the testing of the simulation against a real vehicle for which all the masses, inertias, fifth wheel geometry and relevant tyre characteristics have been measured is described.
