Simulation Analysis of Double Road Train Adaptability of Highway in China.

Three different type of double road trains are selected as simulation model, which is commonly used in developed countries and regions in order to improve the efficiency of road transport and the development of China's logistics industry. The passing ability simulation model of double road train is established based on Auto Turn, and China's current longest tractor-semitrailer is used as a comparison. Simulation models of highway ramp, first class highway and second class highway are established according to the requirement of JTG D20-2006 ‘Design Specification for Highway Alignment’. Adaptability of double road train and highway structure parameter is researched by analyzing different types of double road train turn left, turn right and turn around on the road. The type of double road train which can meet China's standards is recommended. The result can promote the application of double road train and give some advice for improving passing ability.
