Thus, when defining a vehicle, it is important Ulates the turning performance of vehicles using calculationsД«ased upon the center of the axle groups for both the tractorДЄnd the trailer. Limitation of the program is not a concern. Because the type of axle has onlyДЄ minor impact on the turning performance of a vehicle, this Turning performance between a single axle, double (tandem)ДЄxle, or tridem axle group. The program does not account for the difference in One of the limitations of AutoTURN concerns axle set.

Vehicle by providing the input for all the vehicle parameters, The user has several means to define the parameters of a Ing radii, the maximum steering angles, and the maximum The basic parameters to be defined include the longitudinalДimensions of the vehicle, the widths of the tractors and trail-Д®rs, the tracks of the tractors and trailers, the minimum turn. The first step inД®valuating the turning performance of each vehicle was toДefine the parameters of each vehicle. Including 4 of the design vehicles defined in the 2001 GreenД«ook and 9 vehicles considered for inclusion as design vehi-Д¬les in future versions of the Green Book. The remainder of this appendix presents each phase of theДЄ total of 13 vehicles were modeled within AutoTURN, Maximum offtracking, swept path width, and rear swingout.
