This document does not apply to trailers, dollies, etc. This document does not intend to exclude any particular system or sensor technology. This document will test the functionality of the lane departure warning system (LDWS) (e.g., ability to detect lane presence and ability to detect an unintended lane departure), its ability to indicate LDWS engagement, its ability to indicate LDWS disengagement, and its ability to determine the point at which the LDWS notifies the human machine interface (HMI) or vehicle control system that a lane departure event is detected. Moreover, this

This document contains information and guidance necessary for the development of a representative, repeatable validation program that may be utilized to assess the capability of SHM systems. The nature of SHM data differs from that seen in traditional nondestructive evaluation (NDE) applications in that the position of SHM sensors is fixed and SHM data can be available much more frequently (if not continuously) over time. This document presents methodologies that can be used to arrive at SHM capability while considering the unique nature of SHM deployment. Each SHM system must be considered independently to determine the applicability and limitations of the guidance contained here for each SHM system being assessed.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides recommended practices for the calibration and acceptance of icing wind tunnels to be used in testing of aircraft components and systems and for the development of simulated ice shapes. This document is not directly applicable to air-breathing propulsion test facilities configured for the purposes of engine icing tests, which are covered in AIR6189. This document also does not provide recommended practices for creating Supercooled Large Drop (SLD) or ice crystal conditions, since information on these conditions is not sufficiently mature for a recommended practice document at the time of publication of ARP5905A. Use of facilities as part of an aircraft’s ice protection Certification Plan should be reviewed and accepted by the applicable regulatory agency prior to testing. Following acceptance of a test plan, data generated in these facilities may be submitted to regulatory agencies for use in the certification of aircraft ice
AC-9C Aircraft Icing Technology Committee
This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a procedure for the issuance and assignment of a World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) on a uniform basis to vehicle manufacturers that may desire to incorporate it in their Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN). This recommended practice is intended to be used in conjunction with the recommendations for VIN systems described in SAE J853, SAE J187, SAE J272, and other SAE reports for VIN systems. These procedures were developed to assist in identifying the vehicle as to its point of origin. It was felt that review and coordination of the WMI by a single organization would avoid duplication of manufacturer identifiers and assist in the identification of vehicles by agencies such as those concerned with motor vehicle titling and registration, law enforcement, and theft recovery.

Truck and Bus Human Factors Committee
This SAE Recommended Practice establishes three alternate methods for describing and evaluating the truck driver's viewing environment: the Target Evaluation, the Polar Plot and the Horizontal Planar Projection. The Target Evaluation describes the field of view volume around a vehicle, allowing for ray projections, or other geometrically accurate simulations, that demonstrate areas visible or non-visible to the driver. The Target Evaluation method may also be conducted manually, with appropriate physical layouts, in lieu of CAD methods. The Polar Plot presents the entire available field of view in an angular format, onto which items of interest may be plotted, whereas the Horizontal Planar Projection presents the field of view at a given elevation chosen for evaluation. These methods are based on the Three Dimensional Reference System described in SAE J182a. This document relates to the driver's exterior visibility environment and was developed for the heavy truck industry (Class B

The lubricant performance capability for aero-propulsion drive systems is derived from the physical properties, chemical properties, and the transport phenomena of the oil. Viscosity, pressure-viscosity coefficient, and elastohydrodynamic (EHD) full-film traction coefficient are inherent properties of the lubricating fluid. Full-film traction coefficient is a required input for thermal performance prediction and engineering design. Traction coefficient data can be modeled and used as an input into bearing and gear analysis codes. This document describes a test method for traction coefficient measurement of 5 cSt oils under service-like conditions for high-stress Hertzian elastic contacting bodies operating under temperatures and sliding (slip) velocities found in high-speed rolling element bearings and gears.
