Analysis on Passing Ability of Double Semitrailer Road Train on Highway Based on TruckSim

To study the passing ability of the double semitrailer road train (B-Train) on highways, the authors have built the B-Train model and the highway model using TruckSim. Based on an optimal driver preview control model, they analyzed the speed influence on the passing ability of the B-Train when running from a straight road to a curve. The result shows the B-Train's speed range when passing the highway curve with a limited safe turning radius.
