Simulation Study of Rollover Accident of Wheel Loader during Steep Turn

Abstract

This paper deals with a rollover accident of a wheel loader. Construction vehicles can be classified into a wheel type and a crawler type. The wheel type construction machines can work at high speed compared with the crawler type. Therefore, the wheel type can work speedy, but the wheel type is easy to rollover. In this paper, a simulation environment of the wheel loader was made to design a control system, as the first step.
