This article focuses on the conditions for the safe operation of low-tonnage road trains (hereinafter LTRT) with trailers which are platforms with load capacities up to 3 tons that transport agricultural machines, mini-plants, and other equipment as well as tourist cabins. There are numerous risks in transporting such trailers that can occur due to a small turning radius or emergency braking. To assess the results of the research and experiments on the safe operation of LTRT with trailers, we used the works of the following scholars: Godjaev, Izmaylov, Komarov, Korolyash, Volchkov, Maloletov. As a result, we developed and tested a mechanical flexible coupling device under the leadership of the “Federal Scientific Agroengineering Center VIM” and the Volgograd State Technical University’s Department of Road Transport. Certificate No 2018137360, 22.10.2018. Further research can help define critical indicators for the safe operation of LTRT with load capacities up to 3.5 tons, so calculate the speed limit at critical turns, emergency braking, and reversing.
