Tractors Ride Dynamics – Ride Safety – Driver's Place

The goal of improving the handling and the driving dynamics of tractors – especially to increase traction between the wheel and the underground during field work – is an important part of current research (mainly with regard to reducing energy consumption and exhaust emissions). Driving comfort and safety of commercial vehicles are also in the focus of current research activities. Important issues are the further development of partly unsatisfying valuation methods of whole body vibrations and the involved health risks as well as the possibilities to increase vehicle stability while driving.
