Abstract Rural highways with low technical standards take up a great proportion of the total highways in China, and the problem of traffic safety is quite server on it. To investigate vehicle driving stability on rural highways, vehicle driving state and trajectory were collected by field tests. It was discovered that there are six different kinds of driving trajectories when passing through curved sections on rural highways, and they are named as the ideal trajectory, the normal trajectory, the cutting trajectory, the swing trajectory, the drifting trajectory, and the correcting trajectory. To evaluate vehicle handling stability while drives along different trajectories, Lorenz scatter plot was used to discover the parameter that could reflect driving stability best of all. Then, vehicle driving stability on different trajectories was studied by CarSIM and it was found that vehicle has the best driving stability when drives along the cutting trajectory and has the worst stability while drives along the correcting one.
