Abstract

Recommended design curves are presented for combinations of slopes forming V, round, and trapezoidal ditch configurations. A method of evaluating the resultant effect of vehicle accelerations in three axes was developed by assigning a severity index to the resultant acceleration and relating this index to the degree of potential hazard. A summery of findings from full-scale tests and simulated traversals is presented.
