Abstract

This paper describes a study of anti-skid braking and the effects of such braking on the handling behaviour and braking performance of a tractor-semitrailer truck. The truck, represented by a digital computer model having fourteen degrees of freedom, is taken to be in a cornering maneuver that involves braking and driver steering. Conventional braking or one of three types of anti-skid braking is used in the maneuver. The results show that the effects of anti-skid braking on the handling behaviour and braking performance of the truck are beneficial.
