The Effect of the Crosswinds on the Stability of the Moving Vehicles

Abstract:

The article describes the effect of the crosswinds on the moving heavy road vehicles. It gives mathematical descriptions of two extreme situations originated from the crosswinds – side deflection from the directness and the rollover of the vehicles. It also analyzes the factors affecting the rate of the wind, as a cornering tire stiffness, instantaneous vehicle weight, axle load, the position of the center of gravity of the vehicle. Both situations present a greater risk for empty vehicles with tarpaulin superstructure, so some types of them are dealt.
