TruckSim is a software tool for simulating and analyzing the dynamic behavior of
medium to heavy trucks, buses and articulated vehicles. It operates just like CarSim
with a few important differences.
Trucks and buses use a different steering system than cars. They can also have dual
tires, multiple axle configurations and a wide range of tractor-trailer combinations.
TruckSim includes 16 common configurations, in two forms each: (1) with rigid sprung
masses, and (2) with frame torsional flexibility. The frame torsional flexibility
is an option available (at extra cost) that can give more realistic predictions
when the associated frame data are available.
Both versions include suspended cabs. Additional truck configurations can be obtained
at a reasonable price, and work in the same TruckSim environment. TruckSim comes
with example trucks and buses that cover most of the vehicles found around the world.
Examples come from North America, Europe and Japan.
TruckSim is built on decades of research in characterizing vehicles and reproducing
their behavior with mathematical models. Data screens serve as your primary interface
to TruckSim. They contain vehicle model parameters, control inputs and other run-time
settings. The data screens are part of an extensive database that maintains libraries
of linked data sets.
