Electronic stability control (ESC) systems have been proven to be an effective means of preventing instability and loss of control on both passenger vehicles and heavy trucks. In addition, roll stability algorithms are an effective Means of Reducing the Risk of Rollover on Heavy Trucks with their relatively high centers of gravity. Stability control systems are so effective that the U.S. government has mandated their inclusion on all new passenger vehicles by September 2011, and similar legislation is anticipated soon for heavy trucks. The goal of this research project is to produce a software co-simulation of an Articulated tractor-trailer model together with an ESC algorithm.
