AN EVALUATION OF DESIGN CRITERIA FOR OPERATING TRUCKS SAFELY ON GRADES
This paper is concerned with the evaluation of design criteria relating truck operating characteristics on grades to the implementation of truck climbing lanes. The evaluation is specifically concerned with truck operating characteristics on grades, truck weight-horsepower rations as they pertain to truck operating characteristics and design criteria for climbing lanes.
