German company released King of the Road- continuation of HARD TRUCK 2.Īfterwards JoWooD Production Software® purchased the game rights from 1C Company for publishing the German and English version of King of the Road. This is the continuation of Hard Truck 2 improved with traffic lights and better AI, basically it same Hard truck 2.

It's all in a days work when you're driving the big rigs. Go head to head with the competition to be the first to deliver your cargo. However, since the extended trailer configuration outperformed the WB-36 with respect to turning performance, it is not hard to imagine a scenario in which extended trailer configurations are allowed to operate in Winnipeg under permit as long as they stay on preapproved routes, much like the WB-36 trucks are today.Get behind the wheel in this sequel to the original 3D trucking simulation: Hard Truck. Analysis of the extended trailer configurations indicated a need for field testing to determine if the difference in turning performance output by AutoTURN translates into practical differences for actual trucks on Winnipeg’s truck routes. Analysis of the vehicle design modifications indicated the need for further analysis to determine if the positive impacts on safety attributable to increased manoeuverability outweigh the negative impacts associated with an increased front and rear swing out. This paper was developed based on three key research tasks: (1) an environmental scan, consisting of a literature review and a jurisdictional survey, to determine factors that affect truck manoeuvrability, identify truck design modifications that improve manoeuvrability, and identify locations in Winnipeg that pose operational challenges for trucks (2) analytical modeling of theoretical tractor-trailer combinations used in Winnipeg using AutoTURN turning simulation software to assess the effect of various design modifications on the vehicles’ turning characteristics and (3) analytical modeling of truck configurations with extended trailers using AutoTURN turning simulation software to determine if they can be operated safely on Winnipeg’s existing infrastructure from an off-tracking perspective. The objectives of this paper are to: (1) evaluate truck design modifications with respect to their effect on truck turning characteristics and (2) investigate the capability of Winnipeg’s existing infrastructure to accommodate new truck and trailer configurations. Conversely, modifications to the trucks themselves can improve their manoeuvring capabilities on all existing facilities. Jurisdictions often attempt to accommodate trucks through geometric design however, the benefits from these improvements can only be realised on newly constructed or retrofitted roadways. As freight movement demands and the use of large trucks increases it is important to ensure that existing infrastructure can accommodate these vehicles. Ultimately, this creates a potential safety issue, when trucks larger than the current design vehicles are allowed to operate on existing infrastructure. In recent years some jurisdictions have also begun to permit the use of extended trailers to address this issue, such as the 60’ extended trailers being piloted by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. Evidence of this can be seen in the significant increase in the number of WB-36 trucks (turnpike doubles) on Canadian roads. This creates demand for vehicles with higher cubic capacity for certain operations. ![]() When transporting low density freight, some trucks “cube out” before reaching their maximum allowable weight.
