Characteristics of the overall dimensions of two-axle trucks in China and the determination of representative vehicle parameters

To clarify the distribution characteristics of the external dimensions of two-axle trucks in the current market in China, and to provide a basis for revising relevant design standards and specifications for cargo vehicle parameters, statistical methods were used to analyze the correlation and distri...

description To clarify the distribution characteristics of the external dimensions of two-axle trucks in the current market in China, and to provide a basis for revising relevant design standards and specifications for cargo vehicle parameters, statistical methods were used to analyze the correlation and distribution characteristics of the external dimension parameters of two-axle trucks. Based on the analysis results, combined with the types of vehicles used for highway tolls, representative models for two-axle trucks and parking garage design models were determined. The study results showed that there is a strong positive correlation between the length and wheel space of two-axle trucks, whereas the correlation between wheel space and body width or height is relatively weak. The external dimensions are ranked as follows: heavy trucks > medium trucks > light trucks > micro trucks, with micro trucks having a significant difference in body width compared to other types of goods vehicles. Based on the data, it is suggested that the representative model for Type I trucks be determined as a light truck with external dimensions of 6.0 m × 2.55 m × 3.6 m, and the representative model for Type II trucks is a two-axle heavy truck with external dimensions of 12 m × 2.55 m × 4 m. The representative vehicle types and their external dimensions for truck parking garage design are as follows: micro trucks − 6 m × 2.1 m × 2.7 m, Type I trucks − 7.5 m × 2.55 m × 3.5 m, Type II trucks − 12 m × 2.55 m × 4 m.
