A dynamic model of tractor-semitrailer cornering braking was established in this paper. The accuracy of the model was tested and verified by comparing model output with data of tractor-semitrailer test. By model simulation of the cornering braking process, initial speed such as 20km/h, 25km/h, 30km/h, 35km/h, 40km/h was chosen to analyzed the changing curve of braking distance, articulation angle, yaw rate and lateral acceleration. The result shows that during cornering braking of tractor-semitrailer, with the increasing of initial speed, braking distance greatly increased, articulation angle, yaw rate and lateral acceleration are all increasing. Thus, when braking in a turn, the vehicle speed must be reduced to ensure the stability of tractor-semitrailer cornering braking.
