This report contains the information needed to use a detailed, computerized model (called 'PHASE 4') for simulating the braking, directional, and/or braking performance of heavy trucks and combination vehicles. After concise discussions concerning (1) the history of the development of PHASE 4 and (2) the uses, operation, and validity of the computerized model, comprehensive descriptions of the required input data and the program output are provided to allow a user to submit a run and interpret the output obtained.
