Abstract

The speed profiles of trucks in rolling and mountainous terrain are important when assessing design consistency of highways. A method is described for calculating speed profiles for trucks on a vertical alignment. It proceeds from the assumption that acceleration of a truck is a linear function of its speed. The main advantage of the method is that a speed profile can be calibrated for a specific population of trucks. A few examples are given.
