The purpose of the Type I truck test program was to obtain performance data on Type I or conventional three-piece freight car trucks to characterize their operational behavior. One carset of 100-ton ASF Ride Control trucks was used with the 100-ton open hopper test car in all the series of tests. This report documents the Type I truck field test program. It describes: (1) the development of the measurement systems, (2) tests conducted, (3) data acquired, (4) samples of the type of information which can be extracted from the data, and (5) test plans and test procedures used. Data was collected in the performance regimes of curving negotiation, lateral stability, trackability, and ride quality. Tests were also conducted to obtain rolling resistance as part of the fuel consumption study.
