Handling and Roll Prediction of Electric Drive Mining Trucks

Abstract:

A method is proposed to predict the handling and roll properties of electric drive mining trucks and evaluate their safety status. Trucksim is used to simulate the truck dynamics and Simulink is used to model the electric drive system, the truck model takes a double-lane change manoeuvre according to ISO 3888-1. A 190t mining truck is demonstrated and the understeer gradient and roll angle results respect its safety status well. Using this method, mining truck designers could make the handling and roll prediction before manufacture and modify their design.
