This review of the state of the art emphasizes recent results that have been obtained in extending conventionalanalysis techniques to the treatment of “Highway Trains”, that is, to heavy trucks that have multiple articulation points and employ suspensions with multiple axles. Equations of motion applicable to the equilibrium turning performances of articulated vehicles are examined with respect to using analysis techniques involving steering gains, understeer gradients, effective wheel-bases, handling diagrams, and critical speeds. These examinations provide the basis for in sights into simplified approaches for understanding the steady turning mechanics of articulated, multi-axle vehicles riding on pneumatic tires.
