The report will be of interest to highway engineers and administrators responsible for the safety of trucks on freeway ramps. This report presents the evaluation of three prototype automatic truck rollover warning systems that were installed on ramps on the Capital Beltway in the Washington, D.C. area. Two systems were installed on ramps in Virginia, and one system was installed on a ramp in Maryland. The systems were operational for 3 years, and data were collected on the effect the system had on slowing trucks, the accuracy of the sensors in measuring truck characteristics, as well as the operational and maintenance problems experienced with the systems. Plans and specifications for the installation of these systems are available from the Federal Highway Administration, HSR-30.
