In Portugal, my team and I managed to reduce this type of accident by 70% over 5 years, rollover, with heavy fuel tank trucks, providing practical and theoretical training in advanced driving techniques to 2500 drivers. There are many people interested in these accidents continuing...

Safe System Snippet- Understanding the Impact of Crossfall on Truck Stability During Turns Trucks are more likely to roll than skid when travelling too quickly through a curve/corner (unlike cars). That’s why changes in superelevation (i.e. crossfall) within an intersection can have big impacts on vehicle stability. In general, the crossfall adopted for turning roadways where vehicles can turn at moderate speed should desirably not exceed +7% or -3%. For a turn executed at very slow speed (say < 10 km/h), the desirable maximum adverse crossfall (i.e. the vector sum) is -5%. The diagram in this video shows how a 3% crossfall and a 3% longitudinal fall can combine to result in a 4.2% adverse crossfall throughout a right turn. ------------- Find this and more Safe System Snippets on our website- https://lnkd.in/g2khVTy Follow us on LinkedIn Safe System Solutions Pty Ltd. #roadsafety #trafficsafety #trucksafety #safesystem #SafeSystemSnippet
