Abstract.The paper presents mechanomathematical model of a trailer truck in motion
after a lateral stability loss in a crash, turn or stopping taking into
consideration the redistribution of normal reactions in the wheels, wheels
rotation and the variable character of the coefficient friction between the
tyres and the asphalt. Expertcar computer simulation programme has been
created in Matlab to reconstruct the motion of a body consisting of two
vehicles or one vehicle in a given road accident.
