5 Performance Based Standards of HCT-vehicle combinations Performance Based Standards (PBS) in Finland Traffic safety: - How stability should be assessed? - What limits should be fulfilled Startability Maneuverability: - Different levels of turnability? - Where different HCT vehicles can operate? Gradeability Performance based standards (PBS) are needed for longer and heavier HCT-vehicle combinations PBS Scheme could include the tests and limits to be fulfilled in order to get transport permit for specific vehicle combinations The road and weather conditions and road infrastructure make their own unique challenges for HCT- vehicles in Finland Research questions for PBS in Finland: - What tests should PBS Include in Finland? - What are the limits to be fulfilled in these tests? - What kind of HCT- vehicle combinations should be developed? - Should PBS have different levels for different lengths of HCT vehicles? (Roads specified for different levels of HCT vehicle combinations based on stability and maneuverability) - Which tires should be used in HCT- vehicle combinations to fulfill the requirements in different conditions? - PBS-research project plan between Univ. Of Oulu, Chalmer s Univ. of Technology and VTI-research unit in Sweden. 5 Professor Mauri Haataja, ADR-SEMINAARI 23. November 2017 Kuljetuskuutio, Helsinki

6 Research on driving dynamics and tires Driving dynamics and stability of HCT- vehicle combinations are studied with experimental methods (full scale vehicle tests) and simulation models Both are used to evaluate traffic safety of HCT vehicle combinations Simulation models are cost effective and safe when studying the effect of dimensioning changes and different tires on the stability of vehicle combination in critical maneuvers Data from full scale vehicle tests is used to validate the simulation models To improve the accuracy of simulation models and to research tire effects on stability, accurate tire models are needed 6 Professor Mauri Haataja, ADR-SEMINAARI 23. November 2017 Kuljetuskuutio, Helsinki

7 Modeling principles Adams-modeling and simulations Rigid frames for vehicle units Coupling of vehicle units kinematic Vehicle units sprung, springs modeled as Adams/CAR air springs Subsystems of vehicles based on measurements from studied vehicles Tire model PAC2002 (Magic Formula) for pur longitudinal and lateral slip, tire model fitted based on measured tire force at tire force measuring laboratory Mass moments of inertia for vehicle units estimated based on geometry and masses of vehicles Mass moment of inertia for load based on geometry and density Simulation models to be validated based on measurements from full scale vehicle tests 7 Professor Mauri Haataja, ADR-SEMINAARI 23.

8 y [m] Lateral acceleration [m/s^2] Tests Used in Simulations and driving test on the field Double lane change according to ISO Single lane change and single sine wave steer input tests according to ISO Pulse steer input test according to ISO ,8 1,6 1,4 1,2 1 0,8 0,6 0,4 0,2 0 ISO SLC path x [m] SLC path lateral acceleration 1,5 1 0, ,5-1 -1,5 x [m] 8 Professor Mauri Haataja, ADR-SEMINAARI 23. November 2017 Kuljetuskuutio, Helsinki

9 Stability distribution of lateral accelerations Results measured in January and February 2017, loaded HCT-vehicle combinations Accelerations in 104 t HCT-vehicle combination have distributed in larger area Similar distributions in other months as well P&A Trans Oy, 84 t HCT-combination 9 11/28/2017 Ketosen Kuljetus Oy, 104 t HCT-combination

10 The occurrence of lateral accelerations as a function of different frequencies Results from September 2016, on highway Acceleration gain calculated from the first axle to the last axle of combinations 104 t HCT-vehicle combination has largest gain 10 11/28/2017 / Department of Mechanical Engineering / Mauri Haataja

11 Force Measurements in Drawbar and Fifth wheel constructions Strain gages for longitudinal and lateral forces - Measurement of normal and bending strains - 4 gages for a direction => temperature effects and unwanted strains are compensated 11 11/28/2017 / Department of Mechanical Engineering / Mauri Haataja

12 Drawbar forces low frequencies Forces divided to low frequency (below 0,3 Hz) and high frequency (0,3-10 Hz) forces - Low frequency forces are caused by vehicle pulling forces, vehicle braking and tractive resistances, high frequency forces are mostly caused by irregularities in the road Kuljetusliike O Malinen, 76 t combination Kuljetusliike O Malinen, 84 t HCT-combination P&A Trans, 84 t HCT-combination 12 11/28/2017 / Department of Mechanical Engineering / Mauri Haataja

13 Drawbar forces high frequencies Quite similar distributions Kuljetusliike O Malinen, 76 t combination Kuljetusliike O Malinen, 84 t HCT-combination P&A Trans, 84 t HCT-combination 13 11/28/2017 / Department of Mechanical Engineering / Mauri Haataja

14 Drawbar forces Quite similar distribution in higher frequencies with other combinations More deviation in lower frequencies 14 11/28/2017 / Department of Mechanical Engineering / Mauri Haataja

15 Mobile Tire Research on the Testing Platform Tire characteristics, such as cornering stiffness and peak friction coefficient of the tire determine behavior of vehicle combination To research tires, a mobile tire testing platform is being developed and build in the University of Oulu Research project of Validation Methods cooperation with Univ. Of Oulu, Chalmer s Univ. Of Tech. and VTI-research unit in Sweden Some specifications: - Tire rim sizes of 19,5 and 22,5 - Tire diameters between 800 and 1300 mm - Tire width up to 455 mm - Up to vertical loads of N (around 1,5 times of truck tire nominal load) - Slip angles between -45 to 45 degrees Mobile tire testing platform can be used to research the effect of tire structures on tire force development and to compare different types of tires in different driving platforms reliably With mobile tire testing platform, measurements can be done on snow and ice, not in asphalt only 15 11/28/2017 / Department of Mechanical Engineering / Mauri Haataja

16 Research on driving dynamics and tires Data from the experimental tire force measurements is used to make tire models of different tires Tire models with simulation models can be used to study the effect of tires on different driving platforms on the whole vehicle combination Compared to full scale vehicle tests, use of simulation models is more cost effective and safe 16 11/28/2017 / Department of Mechanical Engineering / Mauri Haataja
