abstract="The directional behavior of a tractor/semi-trailer equipped with anti-locking devices on one or more of its axles was studied using digital simulation. This study was limited to the examination of the behavior of the vehicle during braking in a turning maneuver. The suitability of various anti-locking arrangements was examined from the standpoints of directional control and stability, and braking effectiveness. The results of the study indicate that the control arrangements of current anti-locking devices on a tractor/semi-trailer should be improved in that suitable measures should be taken to maintain directional stability in case of failure of the anti-lock system on one or more of its axles. Improved warning systems would also be required to alert the driver to take appropriate corrective action in case of failure.<p />",
