Abstract

This paper is concerned with the application of a 4x4 matrix method to simulating the behaviour of articulated highway vehicles. The method requires only that a model of the vehicle be adopted and that data concerning the characteristics of the model be specified- the digital computer is used to represent numerically and to solve exactly the differential equations that govern the behaviour of the vehicle model. The method is applied to simulating the behaviour of several articulated vehicles.
