High sided articulated road vehicles in strong cross winds
Abstract This paper presents an extension of an earlier theory developed by the author to describe the behaviour of vehicles in high cross winds, and applied it to the investigation of the behaviour of high-sided road vehicles. A parametric investigation of accident risk is carried out which identifies those parameters which most affect the likelihood of wind-induced accidents, and which thus suggests areas in which research effort should be concentrated. In addition, the complex problem of driver-vehicle interaction in high cross winds is considered.
