Military cargo trucks operate in convoys when pushing supplies forward on a road, not in a steady stream of trucks, but in groups of trucks separated by specified intervals, operating at speeds and leads determined partly by the characteristics of the road and partly by convoy doctrine. When thinking of the real capacity of a road, then, we should think in terms of a transportation system that moves according to certain rules and physical limitations. We should also be aware of the fact that roads are seldom used to full capacity because of limitations in the number of trucks available, maintenance resources, and hours of operation. (Author)
