MECHANISM OF CONTROLLING THE TRAILER OF A MULTI-SECTION VEHICLE ON WHEELS, AND ALSO SUCH A VEHICLE WITH RELEVANT MECHANISM OF CONTROL, AND ALSO A METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE TRAILER OF SUCH A VEHICLE, IN PARTICULAR, ARTICULATED BUS

摘要

FIELD: vehicles.;SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to a mechanism for controlling a trailer of an articulated bus. Articulated bus consists of a movably connected head car and trailer and contains two hinge segments, connected to each other by means of a rotating support. Trailer has at least two axles and a control mechanism, in which the wheels of the trailer front axle are controllable. During movement at a turn of an articulated bus, the forces and/or moments affecting the head of the car and the trailer, resulting from this maneuver and/or turn and/or skew, are minimized by changing the rotation angle of the wheels of the trailer front axle.;EFFECT: it is possible to reduce the effect of the lateral forces acting on an articulated bus during turns.;11 cl, 3 dwg
