Abstract. Three different simulation models of center axle trailer train were established by using Auto TURN software, in order to research the passing stability and road adoptability. Highway ramp, first class highway and second class highway intersection models were established according to the requirement of JTG D20-2006. Research on road adaptability simulation of one 18.75 m long center axle trailer train and two 20.00 m long center axle trailer trains was carried out through the simulation models. The results show that three types of center axle trailer train have good adaptability in the highway ramp. At the intersection of first class highway, three vehicles can barely pass through, but in second class highway intersection, the swept path width of three vehicles is too wide, it is not recommended vehicle driving in this intersection. It found that the longer the vehicle, the worse the road passing ability. Simulation results serve as preferences for accelerating the deploying and optimizing the passing ability of center axle trailer train. Keywords: Center axle trailer train Passing ability Road adaptability Auto TURN
1 Introduction The Ministry of Transport issued ‘guidance of the Ministry of Transport on promoting the healthy development of the logistics industry of transportation’ in May 2013 to accelerate transformation of development mode of transportation, promote the upgrading of road transport industry. It plays an important role of transport in the logistics industry development [1]. It takes effectively enhancing the level of transport equipment and technology as one of the important tasks and aims to vigorously develop the standardization of the lorry [2]. It also enhance the professionalization, clean and standardization of transport equipment level. Center axle trailer train is one important form of road train [3, 4], which is the direction of future development of China’s freight vehicles. It is necessary to research passing ability and road adaptability of the center axle trailer train to provide reference © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2017 X. Zeng et al.

for whose development in our country. So, center axle trailer train is used as a research object and simulation model is established by the software Auto TURN to conduct the simulation analysis of turning clearance circle, swept path width. Channel circle test of actual vehicle was carried out to verify the reliability of simulation model.
