Summary:

Lift axle is essentially provided in the commercial vehicles to increase the vehicle's load carrying capacity. The axle is lowered in the case of a high payload and the load is evenly distributed among the wheels both on fixed axles and the lift axle. This ability of lifting the axle implies better maneuverability in turns, better fuel consumption and less wear and tear on the tires and brake shoes. Also it will reduce the damage to the road surfaces.This lowering and lifting the lift axle is controlled by a series of valves together called Lift axle control system(LACS). This LACS has to take into account the vehicle load condition, the ignition state and gear state to decide if the axle has to be lifted or lowered. This paper deals with the modelling and simulation of the LACS system at the vehicle level and optimise the design for the respective desired design solution
