A Study of the Influence of the Brake Force Distribution on the Directional Stability of Heavy Vehicles During the Brailing Process

This paper shows a study of the influence of the brake force distribution on the directional stability of a tractor-semitrailer during the braking process in a rectilinial trajectory, for different operating conditions (empty and with full load). A computer program was developed in association with Mercedes-Benz of Brazil it will be used.
