Abstract
Anticipating that population growth during the next decade will continue to spread into suburban areas strengthens the belief that there will be an increasing need for a significant portion of that population to rely on personal and commercial transportation to maintain a high level of mobility.
The now recognized trend toward lighter fuel efficient vehicles mandates that such an automotive market be served by improving on-road mobility of such vehicles particularly during construction periods and/or in inclement weather.
This paper will discuss one method of achieving that mobility.
