Analysis of structure and length impact for double road train passing ability simulation

Three representative types of double semitrailer road train are put forward based on analyzing the application in developed regions such as Europe and U.S.A. Using Auto TURN, vehicle turning clearance circle test simulation models of double semitrailer road trains are established according to GB 1589. The simulation models are used for analysis passing ability according to the requirement of China Standard. Evaluations on the passing abilities are given by comparing with the 18.10m vehicle train performance. Studies are conducted upon modifying the structure types and parameters. Through analyzing the simulation, recommended types are proposed. Simulation results serve as preferences for accelerating the deploying and optimizing the passing ability of double semitrailer road train.
