The procedure has been developed to provide a practical method
for the prediction of truck performance using accepted data. It Is
designed to help anyone concerned with the problem of truck
selection.
By following directions, it is possible to determine the
necessary information for intelligent truck selection without being
concerned with the origin or derivation of the complex factors
involved. With readily available specification of a truck,
information provided in the tables, and minimum of calculation, it
is possible to predict:
(a) The performance obtainable from a truck of given
characteristics under given operating conditions. (b) The
characteristics required in a truck to meet different performance
requirements under given operating conditions.
This report comprises a procedure form and 10 tables of data. A
complete explanation of the truck ability prediction procedure is
contained in SAE Technical Report HS-82, Truck Ability Prediction
Procedure.ty prediction procedure is contained in SAE Technical
Report HS-82, Truck Ability Prediction Procedure. Part 1 of HS-82
contains, in addition to the procedure form and tables, work sheets
ans an example. Part 2 demonstrates by practical examples how to
obtain some of the answers other than grade ability, and presents a
detailed procedure for computing instantaneous acceleration and the
time or distance required to accelerate between specified limits of
speed. Part 3 gives terminology, the fundamental relations, and the
formulas which form the basis for the procedure, a discussion of th
reliability of factors and methods, and presents a method for
evaluating the effect of wind on air resistance.
