The publication presents the problems encountered when testing the stability of large trucks and special-purpose vehicles. It introduces the concept of building mobile, remotely controlled vehicle models, the characteristics of which can, to a certain extent, replicate the stability of real vehicles.
The publication describes the construction of two such models. The first was built for testing rollover warning indicators, while the design of the second is intended to replicate the motion stability of a given real vehicle while maintaining selected similarities between the model and the actual vehicle. The presented work was created during the implementation of the NCBR research and development project no. PB 5478/B/T02/2011/40 titled “Assessment of the stability of a real vehicle based on tests of a mobile model”. (…)
