LEARN MORE


Learn the foremost research on performance properties and engineering
requirements.

Whether you are new to truck systems or have years of experience, this four-day
course will help you understand their special dynamic behavior by merging the
fundamentals of vehicle dynamics and the details of truck components and
properties.

Learn from leading University of Michigan researchers and industry experts. Stay
engaged through computer simulations, case studies, and real-world examples.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES

 * Gain an understanding of the fundamental principles that determine the
   handling, braking, and ride performance of pneumatic-tired vehicles
 * Examine the special mechanical and geometric properties that determine the
   unique performance properties of commercial trucks
 * Understand the influences of the mechanical properties of subsystems and
   components on the dynamic performance of the total vehicle system
 * Gain exposure to methods and tools available to analyze heavy duty truck
   behavior


PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Fundamentals of Heavy Duty Trucks
 * Categories of performance
 * Subsystems of the vehicle
 * Terminology, sign conventions, symbols
 * Overview of vehicle dynamics theory
 * Contrasts between motor cars and heavy trucks

Truck Components: Physics and Math Models
 * Mechanics of the heavy truck duty tire
 * Behavior of heavy truck suspensions
 * Kinematics and mechanics of steering systems
 * Heavy vehicle brake system basics
 * Thermal capacity
 * Electronic control systems

Heavy Vehicle System Modeling
 * Simplifying assumptions
 * Unit truck and articulated vehicle models

Dynamic Behavior of Heavy Duty Trucks
 * Ride quality
 * Off-tracking
 * Steady state and transient response to steering
 * The rollover process with the influence of slosh and shifting loads
 * Multi-Unit Vehicles
 * Functional vehicle control
 * Interaction with highway geometric features
 * Connected vehicles
 * Braking response
 * Brake force distribution
 * Downhill braking
 * Stopping distance


TRUCKSIM® SOFTWARE

Participants will receive a 60-day trial of TruckSim®, a software tool for
simulating and analyzing the dynamic behavior of medium to heavy trucks, buses,
and articulated vehicles. You will have ample opportunity to explore the
software before, during, and after the course.


WHO SHOULD ATTEND

In addition to engineers involved in vehicle dynamics, this course is intended
for people engaged in activities such as:

 * Truck and truck component design
 * Truck equipment selection
 * Fleet safety operations and equipment specification

 * Accident prevention
 * Development of truck safety standards
 * Highway/truck interaction

 * Measuring vehicle behavior
 * Highway safety standards and regulations 

New engineers who could benefit from learning about truck mechanics will find it
especially useful.
