Abstract
Three different simulation models of center axle trailer train were established by using Auto TURN software, in order to research the passing stability and road adoptability. Highway ramp, first class highway and second class highway intersection models were established according to the requirement of JTG D20-2006. Research on road adaptability simulation of one 18.75 m long center axle trailer train and two 20.00 m long center axle trailer trains was carried out through the simulation models. The results show that three types of center axle trailer train have good adaptability in the highway ramp. At the intersection of first class highway, three vehicles can barely pass through, but in second class highway intersection, the swept path width of three vehicles is too wide, it is not recommended vehicle driving in this intersection. It found that the longer the vehicle, the worse the road passing ability. Simulation results serve as preferences for accelerating the deploying and optimizing the passing ability of center axle trailer train.
