RESEARCH OF ACCELERATIONS AND TRACTION
FORCES OF ALL TERAIN VEHICLES
The present paper realizes an experimental research and comparative study of the results obtained from practical measurements with regard to acceleration, deceleration, stopping distance and dynamic behaviour, in various road conditions and surfaces, with all-terrain vehicle of the type ATV 500 CF Moto during the braking process when starting at various initial speeds. It is evaluated the stopping distance measured from the initial reference point and also the dynamic behaviour of the ATV CF-Moto 500 during the acceleration/deceleration process in the case of traction force at the rear end vehicle hook due to the 750 kg trailer. The need of studying this force is in that vehicle dynamic loading during some driving manoeuvres of braking and taking off, respectively a various situations during normal riding.
