- W759652680 abstract "This article presents some of the findings of a study of tanker roll-overs in the UK, conducted by Frazer Nash Consultancy and commissioned by the Health and Safety Executive. Although tanker roll-overs are not common, surprisingly many occur in apparently normal driving conditions. The study first surveyed operators of tankers to find out how many roll-overs occurred. The annual rate of roll-over of articulated tankers in the UK was found to be about 20, or about 1 in every 300 vehicles. Large petroleum tanker fleets, operating 3+2 axle combinations, seem to be especially liable to roll-over; 2+2 semi-trailers are also more liable than usual. As simulations reveal very little difference between the stabilities of different goods vehicles, the results suggest that the driver's awareness, or 'feel', of his vehicle may give him a false sense of well-being with 3+2 and 2+2 combinations, which are about as liable to roll over as others. Simulations suggest that a semi-trailer tanker swerving to avoid an obstacle is more likely to lose directional control and traction than roll over immediately. For tankers carrying liquid cargoes, large ullage (free space at the top of the tank) alone could increase the risk of roll-over. Use of tanks with compartments reduces this risk." @default.
