Abstract

The front-wheel alignment parameters of vehicle are generally decided based on some dynamic performances of suspension system or some empirical equations, however these approaches have some shortage to obtain an excellent overall vehicle performance. A design approach of front-wheel alignment parameters of mining truck is proposed based on vehicle handling and braking stability. The design variables include inclination angle, caster, camber and toe-in. The optimization objective of the minimum braking sideslip and the swing front-wheel angle is solved applying a multi-island genetic algorithm. The optimization results show that the proposed approach of front-wheel alignment parameters synchronously ensures the braking and handling stability.
