A guide is presented for the successful planning and execution of vehicle fleet tests to obtain valid and statistically significant results. The typical pitfalls of fleet tests are discussed and methods of avoiding them are offered. Management structure and approach is presented. Data collection methods are characterized with respect to the equipment (and its cost) required and the effect on fleet operations. Quality control measures for the data are offered. Various statistical analysis methods are described in relation to analysis of the results and for planning purposes. Data storage and presentation methods are outlined with respect to avoiding errors and minimizing effort. The component costs of operating a fleet test are estimated so that total costs for a specific fleet can be predicted. (ERA citation 13:018470)
