As part of a project sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration to revise and update Chapters 7, 8, and 9 of the 1965 Highway Capacity Manual, truck equivalents for specific grades have been recalibrated. The recalibration is based primarily on the results of freeway simulations conducted at Midwest Research Institute and studies of truck weight-to-power ratios and operating characteristics conducted at Pennsylvania State University. Approximate equivalents have also been developed for recreational vehicles, which form a significant portion of the traffic stream in selected areas. /Author/
