Abstract

Downgrades, especially in mountainous areas, are considered to be one of the most dangerous places on the road, which cause many casualties and financial losses every year. Also, the potential of these losses can increase dramatically for run-off-the-road (ROR) vehicles over downgrades. In previous studies, an attempt has been made to examine the effect of the side friction factor using the vehicle dynamics modeling concept. However, limited research has been carried out on the influence of side friction factor and braking force over downgrade foreslopes for ROR vehicles using this concept. Therefore, in this research, by the use of vehicle dynamics modeling, the movements of representative vehicles (E-class Sedan, E-class SUV and truck) are simulated in different road conditions and driver behavior. Based on the results, the greater the speed, the lower the side friction factor. Moreover, the most critical level of the side friction factor is at 100 km/h speed with a departure angle of 7.50 degrees for ROR vehicles. The results also show that the side friction factor in all the simulation trials over downgrades is accompanied by an increase, and this increase is observed more clearly in the braking trials. Therefore, the safety margin of vehicles, which is equal to the difference between available and side frictions, will decrease and the skidding potential will increase.
