An analytical and experimental investigation of articulated vehicle handling was conducted to develop the facility for prediction of the dynamic behavior of single- and double-articulated vehicles during commonly encountered road and speed-maneuvers and subject to aerodynamic influences. To this end, an experimentally validated digital simulation model, AVDS II, was developed which utilizes the inverse trajectory method whereby the steering demands, braking demands, and the vehicle response are computed for given tire characteristics and prescribed tractor trajectory.
