The report contains the statement of a test procedure for evaluating the performance of multi-articulated heavy trucks in a sudden swerving maneuver. Reaward amplification between the motion of the lead unit (truck or tractor) and that of the last trailer is used to quantify performance in the maneuver. The statement of the procedure has sections on the purpose, scope, test course, vehicle condition and preparations, instrumentation requirements, data gathering and processing, proper execution of the test maneuver, analysis of the data, and interpretation of the results. Three appendices provide detailed information on the test course, the definition of the vehicle being tested, and outriggers for preventing rollover.
