'Trailer swing' is the name given to the condition of an articulated vehicle when its trailer wheels are locked and hence the trailer does not necessarily follow the tractor unit but tends to swing out during cornering. It differs from jack-knifing in that trailer swing is shown to be a quasi-steady phenomenon for which there is a particular angle of swing for steady conditions of lateral and forward acceleration or deceleration of the unit. The work reported upon consists of measurements of the angle of trailer swing for known conditions or manoeuvres of an articulated vehicle. Predictions of these angles are based on a formula derived from a theoretical representation and good agreement is obtained. (Author)
