This typically occurs when the tractor skids on the road, and the momentum of the trailer causes it to swing out from behind, ultimately resulting in the tractor and trailer being folded up against one another – not unlike a jack knife’s body and blade. The folded rig usually ends up blocking the road, and the tractor can’t undo the situation under its own power. Fortunately, Greek researchers have recently created a system that they claim could greatly reduce jack-knifing. <a href="/web/20121013121229/http://www.gizmag.com/sliding-kingpin-truck-jack-knifing/23910/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="23828"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20121013121229/http://www.gizmag.com/military/" style="float: left; ">MILITARY</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20121013121229/http://www.gizmag.com/caat-disaster-relief-darpa/23828/">DARPA releases video of floating tank-like CAAT vehicle</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20121013121229/http://www.gizmag.com/author/brian-dodson/">Brian Dodson</a></div> <div class="date">August 22, 2012</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20121013121229/http://www.gizmag.com/caat-disaster-relief-darpa/23828/#comments">19 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20121013121229/http://www.gizmag.com/caat-disaster-relief-darpa/23828/pictures">2 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback" href="/web/20121013121229/http://www.gizmag.com/caat-disaster-relief-darpa/23828/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20121013121229im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/caat-disaster-relief-darpa-2012.jpg" title="DARPA's one-fifth scale prototype of the Captive Air Amphibious Transporter - walks on lan..." alt="DARPA's one-fifth scale prototype of the Captive Air Amphibious Transporter - walks on lan..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> So the year is 2015, and you're in a serious disaster – one that requires the immediate provision of food, water, medical care, and shelter for a hundred thousand people.
