Computerized analyses were conducted to evaluate roll stability issues involving the operation of heavy tanker combinations on two segments of curved roadway. Two vehicle configurations were examined, representing a tanker currently in service in the Yukon Territory of Canada and a reference tanker used in many parts of the U.S. and Canada for transporting petroleum products. The analyses show the comparison in static stability between the selected vehicles and the performance of these vehicles on an existing and a proposed road segment. Recommendations are offered for setting maximum speed values for trucks operating on the subject curves.
