DOI: 10.1080/00423114.2024.2419460
Abstract: Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) with extendable-trailers cost-effectively transport freight under varying operating conditions, and they are well-suited for delivering cargos with varying sizes. These AHVs face a challenging issue of varying performance in steady-state handling… read more here.
