Leyland experimental 2-axle vehicle (R1) - comparison of lateral stability and curving performance between a standard suspension arrangement and yaw relaxation (IM-DOS-093)

Theoretical calculations show that LEV can be stabilised with yaw dampers fitted in place of traction rods to provide the suspension yaw restraint, ensuring a good stability margin at maximum operating speed 120 km/h. Curving performance is significantly improved by fitting a yaw relaxation suspension compared with the standard suspension...
