Abstract

The goals of this research project were (1) to elucidate the mechanics of combination vehicle braking; (2) to structure a rationale for measuring trailer braking properties; and (3) to formulate a set of guidelines by which tow and trailing vehicles can be properly matched to provide acceptable combination-vehicle braking performance. The report describes analytical and empirical work aimed toward attaining these goals.
