✦ Synopsis

This paper investigates which di!erent steering reactions are necessary by the driver to avoid obstacles driving a car with or without a trailer. For car and trailer complex 3D-models with nonlinear tyre characteristics are established. The driver modelling extends the well-known 2-level concept with an overruling 3rd level, that will be activated, if unexpected large driver reactions due to the large local path deviations are necessary. The results, comparing these di!erent driver models for car and car}trailer, clearly show the consequences and advantages of the incorporation of a third, extensive reaction level and especially its importance for the car}trailer combination.

Recent advances in 5re test methods and hazard analysis techniques make it useful to re-examine passenger train 5re safety requirements. The use of test methods based on heat release rate (HRR), incorporated with 5re modelling and hazard analysis, could permit the assessment of potential hazards und
