The computer model of a tank car with a liquid is developed. Liquid relative movement is described by discrete-mass model in it. Change of forces of interacting between wheels and the road, caused by a liquid sloshing in the tank is defined. There is determined influence of the brake moment on the kinematic parametres of tank wheels movements and stopping distance at different tank filling levels.
