In order to accurately characterize the dynamic characteristics of articulated heavy vehicles, 3-dof (degree of freedom) model and 5-dof simplified model of articulated heavy vehicle are established and key parameters of models are identified by the method which is to combine double models with genetic algorithm and by using Trucksim data. Simulation study, which combines 5-dof simplified model with the MAPs of key identified parameters, is carried out. Comparison, which is between simulation results and Trucksim data, indicates that the key parameters of simplified model can be accurately identified, the MAPs of key identified parameters can satisfy the demand of characterizing the actual state of vehicle and lay a foundation for vehicle stability control.
