The article presents an improvement in the design of a strain gauge axle for load limiters. It analyzes a serial sensor with strain gauges mounted on the cylindrical surface of a through hole, which causes their pre-deformation and reduces sensitivity. A new design is proposed, with strain gauges placed on a flat wall between two blind holes. A finite element analysis in the ANSYS software package calculated the stress-strain state, confirming the possibility of a significant increase in working stresses and, consequently, the sensor's sensitivity by changing the thickness of the flat wall without compromising the overall strength of the axle. A prototype was manufactured and field tests were conducted. The experimental results showed that the new design provides a sensitivity 4.3 times higher than that of the serial sample. This allows for a significant increase in measurement accuracy and the safety of crane operation.

   The article provides a description of a spatial multi-body simulation model of a leaf-spring bogie suspension for dynamic analysis of cargo wheeled vehicles in MBS software. The model ensures an adequate reflection of elastic-damping properties and takes into account the kinematic features of multi-leaf spring operation without using finite element models of the leaf springs. The presented model can be effectively applied in dynamic analysis of multi-axle wheeled vehicles that require reproduction of long-term time implementations and multiple simulations.

   The article presents the results of a comparative study of fuel consumption during the actual operation of a car on an urban route when driving in a calm and aggressive driving style. The developed mathematical model of the rectilinear motion of the car and the simulation results based on data collected during real operation are presented. The developed model is equipped with an acceleration and deceleration limiter so that the final accelerations do not exceed modulo 1.5 m/s². A comparison of fuel consumption in the actual operation of the car, in modeling based on the collected data and in modeling with acceleration limitation is carried out.
