- Content
- THIS paper demonstrates the accuracy that can be expected from the method of computing truck road performance developed by Stamm and Lamb.The author shows here that:
-
1.
The method is sound.
-
2.
The use of the basic factors now available for the resistances to motion can be expected to result in an average difference between the computed and the actual performance of 5-10% of the computed performance.
-
3.
The actual performance is always greater than the computed for operation on the level and is generally less than the computed for grades of 3% and steeper.
