Dr Richard Roebuck worked with the Transportation Research Group, Cambridge Vehicle Dynamics Consortium, and subsequently the Centre for Sustainable Road Freight for the period from 1998 till 2015, both as a doctoral and a postdoctoral researcher.

Richard worked on a range of research and implementation projects on heavy goods vehicles, including: semi-active damping, active roll control, trailer rear wheel steering at low and high speed, and in particular long combination vehicle rear wheel steering, of B-doubles and A-dolly combinations.

Richard still works within the University of Cambridge’s Department of Engineering, running the Dyson Centre for Engineering Design – a space for undergraduate students to experiment, implements and expand on their lecture knowledge outside of the classroom.
