SOFTWARE STOPSIM FOR STOCHASTIC SIMULATION OF MOTION AND LOADING PROCESSES OF VEHICLES

Abstract

The software to be introduced aims to simulate the motion and loading processes of vehicles by utilizing the information based on operation measurements, namely the transition probabilities of the tractive and braking effort control process, as well as the conditional probability distribution functions of the dwelling times on different control levels. The simulation procedure is based on statistical-dynamical principles. The evaluation of the time realizations generated can lead to the most important statistical characteristics concerning the future loading conditions of the vehicle in the period of design, so the dimensioning can be much more reliable.
