Abstract :
This paper describes a computer simulation study on performance of lateral guidance system for dual mode truck. A stability limit of vehicle lateral motion is analyzed by using 9 DOF vehicle dynamic model. Relations between DMT steering system and stability limit are shown. Experiments with actual dual mode truck is carried out to show the effectiveness of the simulation study. Both the simulation study and experiment show that lateral guidance with one side guide rail causes unstable vehicle motion. It is shown that the unstable motion can be suppressed by cutting off the power steering equipment in the guideway
