The features of curvilinear movement of roadtrain are considered in the article. The typical ways of curvilinear movement are marked out. The mathematical description of curvilinear movement and computer model of the roadtrain in the MSC.ADAMS environment are given. Received estimated results of an experimental research and simulation for the purpose of checking computer model adequacy.
