Abstract: This paper introduces the concept of a linearly increasing variable power to the basic vehicle dynamics model that has been proposed in the literature. The paper also calibrates the model to typical truck classifications ...

Abstract: An experimental program was conducted to investigate the application of headed glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) ribbed bars at the barrier wall-deck anchorage. Six full-scale barrier models of 1,200 mm in length were ...

Abstract: The paper presents a simple vehicle dynamics model for estimating maximum vehicle acceleration levels based on a vehicle's tractive effort and aerodynamic, rolling, and grade resistance forces. In addition, typical model ...
