Abstract

The kinematic and power traversing methods of the trailer rotation are considered in order to improve the maneuverability of the metrobus. The necessary angles of rotation of the controlled wheels of the first or second trailer are established, in which the standardized indicators of maneuverability are provided. The advantages of the power of rotation by the wheels of the trailer are shown. The required torque difference on the trailer wheels was determined, in which the radius of rotation of the metrobus would be the same as that of the first trailer controlled by the cinematic rotation method.
Keywords: metrobus, trailer, maneuverability, displacement, overall speed, hybrid power plant, trajectory.
