On the Effective Speed Control Characteristics of a Truck Escape Ramp Based on the Discrete Element Method

This paper presented a numerical analysis of the damping characteristics of truck escape ramps. To explore the procedure of out-of-control trucks running into arrester beds, the discrete element method (DEM) models of both the tire and the truck escape ramp were built. Tire compression tests were co...
