A Performance Evaluation of a Long Load Steering Tri-Axle Dolly on the Alaska Highway, 1981 (Evaluation du Rendement d'un Chariot a Tubes a Trois Essieux, Dont un Essieu Directeur Asservi, sur l'Autoroute de l'Alaska en 1981).

摘要

A road test was conducted on a highway transporter designed to carry three, 80-foot lengths of 48-inch diameter steel pipe on the Alaska Highway. The transporter uses a tri-axle forced steering dolly which has shown the capacity of significantly reducing the off tracking of the vehicle during curving. The curving dynamics of the vehicle, as they relate to off tracking, are discussed and the processed data from the test are presented. (Author)
