Studies were carried out as part of program to determine effects of highway design on fuel consumption and travel time of large trucks; fuel consumption and travel time were as much affected by vehicle properties as by highway design; road test methods are described by means of which total drag force, air and tire drag force, and other drag components of truck can be measured; road tests consist of coastdown experiments over wide speed range at several loads; independent measurements of tire and air drag force show that road data are essentially correct; examples of results of road test method.
