Safety problems in commercial vehicle handling. Paper presented at the Symposium on Commercial Vehicle Braking, and Handling, Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 5-7, 1975.

Swedish research on the dynamic behaviour of heavy vehicle combinations and proposed regulations on handling performance are reviewed. The research was concentrated on the handling performance in a double lane change manoeuvre studied by means of digital computer simulation. The 10 degrees-of-freedom driver-vehicle simulation model used in these studies was validated by full scale tests.
