Examination of an Overturned Towed Vehicle

Abstract

If a vehicle leaves the onDroad, and enters the terrain, its movement is determined by the physical and mechanical laws of terrainDvehicle interaction. The problem with the runDoffDroad accidents is that the effect of the soil physical properties are not known clearly, so that in many cases only approximate results can be provided by the accident analysts. The objects of the project were to create a soil-database, and determine the friction coefficient between the vehicle body and the terrain surface.
