Measured Vehicle Inertial Parameters -NHTSA's Data Through September 1992

This paper is primarily a printed listing of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Light Vehicle Inertial Parameter Data Base. This data base contains measured vehicle inertial parameters from all of the 356 tests performed to date with NHTSA's Inertial Parameter Measurement Device (IPMD) that have resulted in data thought to be of general interest. Additionally, the data base contains tilt table data from all 168 vehicle tests performed to date using NHTSA's Tilt Table.

The paper also summarizes the history of modifications to the IPMD and discusses how these modifications have improved the accuracy of IPMD measurements.
