Stability of truck and trailer are the most significance in Thai automotive industry. This paper presents the mathematical model of a six-degree-of-freedom semi-trailer vehicle. Search method was implemented to obtain the optimum design variables of the trailer which are the distance from the fifth wheel to the centroid of the trailer and the distance from the centroid of the trailer to the trailer axel. The objective function is to minimize the steady side slip velocity, steady-state yawing velocity and steady-state angle between the tractor and the trailer. From the calculation , the optimum distance from the fifth wheel to the centroid of the trailer and the optimum distance from the centroid of the trailer to the trailer axle are 5.50 and 3.25 meters respectively. The stability of the optimal semi-trailer vehicle was also examined in steady state. The steady side slip velocity, yawing velocity and the angle between tractor and trailer are also obtained using linearization technique under unit step disturbance of the tractor front wheel steering angle.

In this study a control law and performance potential of semi-active suspensions for a tractor/semi-trailer have been investigated. The control law for airbag semi-active suspensions modeled in this study is developed using feedback linearization and Linear Quadratic (LQ) optimal control method. Inherent nonlinearity of the airbag suspensions has been considered in the control law development. It has been shown that the proposed semi-active control law provides better performance than that of well known sky-hook damping control strategy.

This study deals with the effect of a series of moving trucks on the Dynamic Load Factor (DLF). The DLF is calculated by investigating the load effect of moving trucks. Therefore, analytical models for frocks, bridge, and road profiles were developed and dynamic structural analysis computer program were developed. Then the DLFs are calculated as a ratio of maximum dynamic load effect and maximum static load effect. Trucks used in this study are 5 axle semi tractor-trailer with the weight of 36 and 54 ton. Simply supported prestressed concrete box girder bridges with 20 and 40m span length are selected. From the results of the DLF for various headway distances, they show a very scattered and relatively high values of the DLF in case of a 20m span length bridge. For a 40m span length bridge, the results show less scattered and small increase of the DLF compared to a 20m span length bridge.

Computer-based simulation and analysis is used extensively in engineering for a variety of tasks. Despite the steady and continuing growth of computing power and speed, the computational cost of complex high-fidelity engineering analyses and simulations limit their use in important areas like design optimization and reliability analysis. Statistical approximation techniques such as design of experiments and response surface methodology are becoming widely used in engineering to minimize the computational expense of running such computer analyses and circumvent many of these limitations. In this paper, we compare and contrast five experimental design types and four approximation model types in terms of their capability to generate accurate approximations for two engineering applications with typical engineering behaviors and a wide range of nonlinearity. The first example involves the analysis of a two-member frame that has three input variables and three responses of interest. The second example simulates the roll-over potential of a semi-tractor-trailer for different combinations of input variables and braking and steering levels. Detailed error analysis reveals that uniform designs provide good sampling for generating accurate approximations using different sample sizes while kriging models provide accurate approximations that are robust for use with a variety of experimental designs and sample sizes.

This paper deals with ROLSO (Reduced Order Luenberger State Observer) design to prevent jackknifing phenomenon of articulated vehicles consisting of the tractor and semi-trailer by using GPS. In addition, by applying the regulator system using ROLSO feedback system, simulation's result presents that articulated vehicle's states are stabilized than the human's PR time (Preception Response time) rapidly. This simulation verifies that the automatic control of articulated vehicle's can be applied for the accident prevention for the time that the driver is unable to manage with the sudden accident. For this simulation, by using the equation of planar motion, the modeling of the articulated vehicle was performed. This modeling was expressed in the state space model. And FOLSO (Full Order Luenberger State Observer), ROLSO were designed by using the state space model of an articulated vehicle's dynamics.

도로의 평면곡선부는 선형 설계시 직선부와 달리 여러 가지 요소를 추가적으로 고려하며 확폭의 문제도 이중의 하나이다. 확폭은 차량 뒷바퀴가 앞바퀴의 궤적을 따라 주행하지 않고 이탈하는 궤도이탈(offtracking)현상 때문에 발생하고, 곡선부 설계시 이러한 현상을 반영하여야 운전자 안전성을 보장할 수 있다. 특히 대형차량 운행이 빈번한 산업도로나. 곡선반경이 작은 산악지역 간선도로의 경우 궤도이탈현상으로 인해 곡선부 사고위험이 증가하기 때문에 확폭 필요성이 강조된다. 본 연구에서는 굴절차량 궤도이탈모형 이론 및 확폭 설치 기준에 관련된 국내외 연구 결과를 비교·검토하여 도로의 기하구조와 차량의 속도를 감안한 현실적인 동적 궤도이탈모형(Dynamic Offtracking Model)을 개발하여 이 모형을 이용한 확폭량 산정 방법을 제시하였다. 본 연구로부터 얻어진 성과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 견인차와 피견인차의 동적 거동에 편경사영향을 반영할 수 있는 궤도이탈모형을 개발하였다. 둘째, 개발된 동적 궤도이탈모형을 이용하여 우리나라 실정에 맞는 새로운 확폭량 산정 방법을 개발하였다. 셋째, 개발된 모형을 이용하여 실제 궤도 이탈량과 확폭량을 산정하여 현재 사용되고 있는 우리나라 곡선부 확폭 설치기준의 타당성을 살펴보았다.

본 논문의 목적은 장기적인 차량중량자료의 획득을 위하여 설치된 Weigh-In-Motion(WIM)시스템의 정확도를 개선하기 위한 온도영향 보정기법을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 국내 교통량통계연보에 근거하여 중차량교통량이 많은 지역 중 한 곳을 선정하고 WIM 시스템을 설치하여 2010년 1월부터 차량의 중량자료를 획득하였다. 본 연구에서는 획득한 자료 가운데 5월부터 8월까지의 WIM 자료에 대하여 온도에 따른 영향을 보정하기 위하여 화물적재량에 따른 영향을 가장 덜 받아 상대적으로 일정한 중량값을 나타내는 10종 차량(5축 세미트랙터트레일러)의 첫 번째 축의 중량자료를 이용하였다. 이로부터 일평균, 최대 및 최저기온에 따른 보정식을 개발하였다. 마지막으로 새로 얻어진 차량중량자료를 분석하여 보정방법의 적정함을 나타내었고 재현주기별 극한하중 예측을 통해 보정 전,후의 자료값의 차이를 비교하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 WIM system으로 얻게 되는 장기적인 차량중량자료의 정확도를 향상시킴으로써 도로포장 설계 및 교량설계를 위한 설계차량활하중모형의 합리적인 선택에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.
