A method of controlling the sideways motion of a trailer forming part of a combination vehicle, such as a road train, for road transport of heavy goods. The vehicle has a trailer including a semi-trailer body and a dolly mounted beneath the front of the semi-trailer body. The method includes steering at least some of the wheels on said axle sets relative to the dolly frame such that at high speeds, as the vehicle turns towards one side, steering the dolly wheels to induce the dolly to move towards that side and, at low speeds, as said vehicle turns towards that side, steering the dolly wheels to induce the dolly to move towards the opposite side.

L'invention concerne un procédé de commande du mouvement latéral d'une remorque faisant partie d'un véhicule de combinaison, de type train routier, pour le transport routier de marchandises lourdes. Le véhicule comprend une remorque composée d'un corps de semi-remorque et d'un chariot monté au-dessous de la partie avant du corps de semi-remorque. Le procédé de l'invention consiste à diriger au moins certaines des roues sur lesdits ensembles essieux par rapport à la structure du chariot de façon qu'à des vitesses élevées, à mesure que le véhicule tourne vers un côté, la direction des roues du chariot amène le chariot à tourner vers ce côté; et qu'à des vitesses peu élevées, à mesure que le véhicule tourne vers ledit côté, la direction des roues du chariot amène le chariot à se déplacer vers le côté opposé.
