Technician A says that as wheelbase becomes shorter in a highway truck,its resistance to yaw is reduced.Technician B says that an ABS add-on called directional stability control uses the brake system to avoid tracking yaw.Who is correct?
A) Technician A only
B) Technician B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B
Yaw
Vehicle lateral tracking off the intended straight-ahead or turning radius; a vehicle traveling sideways in a skid would be an extreme case of yaw.
Wheelbase
Dimension of a tandem drive axle truck measured between the center of the front axle and the centerline of the tandem bogie. In a two-axle vehicle, it is the distance between the centerline of the front and rear axles.
Directional Stability Control
A vehicle safety system that helps maintain the vehicle's intended direction of travel, typically under adverse conditions.
- Understand the implications of vehicle dynamics, such as wheelbase and yaw resistance, on braking and stability control systems.
