Validation of high-fidelity simulation-based safe operating envelopes for articulated heavy vehicles using real test data
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2024

The electrification of towing and trailing units creates new torque allocation alternatives among different units of articulated heavy vehicles. To increase the power and energy efficiency, control algorithms can request propulsion or regenerative braking from a single unit while keeping the other units unbraked or unpropelled. However, this may lead to safety problems, such as jackknifing or trailer swing. This paper uses a high-fidelity simulation tool to formulate safe operating envelopes for a tractor and semitrailer combination for braking-in-turn cases. The effects of different vehicle and environment parameters on the safe operating envelope are studied. The safe operating envelope obtained is then validated using real vehicle tests and can be used with any control algorithm to avoid requesting unsafe unit force combinations.
