Calculation of braking properties has always been one of the most important stages in the design of any vehicle. With the advent of various active safety systems, such as anti-lock braking systems, collision avoidance systems, automatic emergency braking systems, mathematical models have become much more complicated, but the approach to studying the braking process remains almost unchanged. The authors of the article note the imperfection of modern methods of calculating the braking properties and offer a number of refinements that allow for taking into account factors such as the longitudinal slope of the road, as well as the layout and loading of the vehicle in relation to articulated vehicles with a semi-trailer and a full trailer. |
