Transparent templates of turning track widths of trucks on short radius turns were developed for use by highway designers. Templates were developed using a model known as a Tractrix Integrator. These were compared with offtracking results obtained from actual field tests using full scale trucks. Good correlation was obtained between model and field test results confirming the validity of the Tractrix Integrator as a means of solving offtracking problems. (Author)
