THE METHOD OF MONITORING AND CONTROL FOR STABILITY OF ARTICULATED VEHICLES

Based on the theoretical research results from the monitoring of the articulated vehicle stability, a principle for the prewarning and controlling of stability is proposed which would monitor and limit the pressure between the wheel and ground. The stability monitoring system is controlled by a single chip microcomputer, which can indicate the vehicle's present stability level and give a warning automatically by sound and light. A low pass digital filtering method is used to recognize real and false unstable conditions. The monitoring system is installed for testing and gives satisfactory results. If the system is put into use in China, it is estimated that rollover accidents can be decreased by 40%.
