Abstract

Describes the tests made and the results obtained from a method devised to determine the limits of lateral acceleration for roll-over of nine high-laden articulated vehicles, and the effect of some different vehicle characteristics on these limits. Draws comparisons between theses results and those from static tilt tests and a computer program developed from a theoretical appraisal.
