HANDLING EVASIVE MANEUVERS IN A TRACTOR-TRAILER VEHICLE COMBINATION
A computer-implemented method for controls stability of a vehicle, being a truck or tractor and at least one trailer comprising at least two wheel axles and an electronically controllable suspension system. The method identifies a possible instability state of the vehicle; determines a type of an event that has caused the possible instability state; determining one or more actions comprising adjusting a load distribution between the at least two wheel axles of the trailer based on the possible instability state and based on the type of the event that has caused the possible instability state; and generates and sending a control command to the suspension system to perform the actions. The actions may comprise adjusting the load distribution between the at least two wheel axles of the trailer such that a load on a rear axle is increased and a load on a front axle is decreased.
