Generic framework for assessment and extraction of envelopes for long combination vehicles
Paper in proceeding, 2018

This work presents a generic framework to assess the dynamic behaviour of Long Combination Vehicles (LCV).This framework is applied to determine allowed ranges, envelopes, for vehicle’s geometrical and inertial parameters. The vehicles that comply with these allowed ranges will be permitted on the road. The various constraints incorporated in the framework are performance-based standards (PBS), geometrical and legal constraints. The performance based standard constraints include longitudinal, lateral high-speed and low-speed characteristics of LCVs. Practical constraints such as maximum length, width, and clash between units are also considered. Legal constraints on road damage and safety are included. This framework was applied on an A-double combination vehicle to obtain envelopes or allowed ranges
