Book Description
Current developments in truck design may worsen the problem of runaway trucks. Trucks are becoming heavier, and the design of more aerodynamic cabs and the use of radial and smaller-diameter tires may increase the potential for brake failure on downgrades. This report gives State transportation officials an overview of the Grade Severity Rating System, a program to reduce runaway truck accidents through the use of weight-specific-speed signs (WSS). The report contains adequate information for State transportation officials to decide whether they want to implement GSRS-WSS and also tells potential users where to get the additional information needed for actual implementation.
