- Summary:
- This paper provides a simulation analysis of a novel interconnected roll stability control (RSC) system for improving the roll stability of semitrucks with double trailers. Different from conventional RSC systems where each trailer's RSC module operates independently, the studied interconnected RSC system allows the two trailers' RSC systems to communicate with each other. As such, if one trailer's RSC activates, the other one is also activated to assist in further scrubbing speed or intervening sooner. Simulations are performed using a multi-body vehicle dynamics model that is developed in TruckSim® and coupled with the RSC model established in Simulink®. The dynamic model is validated using track test data. The simulation results for a ramp steer maneuver (RSM) and sine-with-dwell (SWD) maneuver indicate that the proposed RSC system reduces lateral acceleration and rollover index for both trailers, decreasing the likelihood of wheel tip-up and vehicle rollover. Specifically, the study indicates that the interconnected RSC system improves the trailer's roll stability by an additional 6% in RSM and 16% in SWD. The rollover threshold is increased by 1 mph in RSM and by 10% in SWD
