The document constitutes a volume of data obtained in support of the major report entitled 'The Influence of Size and Weight Variables on the Stability and Control Properties of Heavy Trucks'. The project involved both computerized simulations and full-scale test methods for studying how changes in truck dimensions and loading influenced the properties which determine vehicle response to steering and braking. Volume III of the report presents plots of simulation results which are arranged according to the types of analyses which were conducted. Within each set of simulations, various vehicles are represented and each is considered with varying values of size and weight variables. The test results are presented in groups corresponding to individual test vehicle configurations. For each configuration, various plots are presented showing braking, cornering, roll stability, and rearward amplification information measured under differing size and weight conditions.
