This paper developed two nonlinear models with 7-D.O.F of truck and 12-D.O.F of tractor-trailer. The road surface roughness for the class of very good, good, average and poor road is generated in accordance with the International Organization for Standardization specifications. The validity of the developed vehicle model is demonstrated by comparing the result obtained by the present and the experimental data. The developed vehicle model in this paper will be applied to the study of dynamic response of the highway bridges.
