abstract="This article presents a literature review of simulations used to evaluated heavy truck electronic stability control systems (ESC). ESC systems are a means of preventing instability and loss of control in both automobiles and trucks, roll stability algorithms are a particularly effective way to reduce the risk of rollover in heavy trucks with their relatively high centers of gravity. The goal of this study was to produce a software co-simulation of an articulated tractor-trailer model together with an ESC algorithm. In addition to ESC algorithms, the literature review included models of articulated trucks used for both control algorithms and simulation systems. In addition, high-fidelity commercial tools capable of simulating tractor/semitrailer systems such as TruckSim and SIMPACK were reviewed. As part of the literature review, the authors investigated further improvements in stability control and system identification algorithm performance through closed-loop simulation with vehicle models.<p />",
