Possibilities for control of a truck semi-active suspension in order to reduce pitch angle and suspension jounces when braking on railway crossing

Abstract

Road transport and commercial vehicles are constantly being studied and improved, and proof of this is the availability of various publications on the topic. Along with the fuel economy and the exploitation efficiency of the road freight transport [1, 2 and 3], the problems of the dynamics of commercial vehicles are a question of present interest [4, 5]. When the road vehicles are under braking on the vehicle body acts a powerful disturbance as a torque. Its magnitude is proportional to the inertia force and, on the other hand to the mass center height of the vehicle.
