Abstract. Based on the calculations of articulated vehicle‘s steering ability on flat road surface, taking an articulated vehicle as example, the calculating formulas of steering ability is discussed with the variational swinging angle of articulated vehicle. Through the simulations in Matlab, the paper analyzes the swinging angle influencing to articulated vehicles‘s steering ability. At last, based on the conclusion, the paper gives the optimized project of articulated steering mechanism under complex road conditions.
