HEADFORM IMPACTS AT 5.5-7.7 MPH USING THE 22 LB AIR- STABILIZED MISSILE WERE RUN ON GLASS PANELS THAT DID NOT FRACTURE TO MEASURE DECELERATION PULSES AND OBTAIN SEVERITY INDEX (SI) VALUES. THESE TESTS SHOW LOW SI VALUES FOR THIS RANGE OF IMPACT VELOCITIES. DUMMY- WINDSHIELD TESTS WERE RUN AT SPEEDS OF 8.7-21.9 MPH TO MEASURE SI AND LACERATION. IN ALL CASES, LACERATION IS LOW AND SI VALUES DO NOT INDICATE CONCUSSIVE HAZARD BELOW APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH IMPACT VELOCITY, EVEN WHEN THE GLASS DOES NOT FRACTURE. THESE DATA ARE OF PARTICULAR INTEREST FOR THOSE ACCIDENT SITUATIONS BELOW THE PROBABLE VELOCITY FOR DEPLOYMENT OF A PASSIVE RESTRAINT SUCH AS THE AIR BAG. THE CURRENTLY USED HPR INTERLAYER FOR AUTOMOTIVE WINDSHIELDS SHOWS EXCELLENT SAFETY PERFORMANCE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE BUT IS LESS EFFECTIVE AT OTHER TEMPERATURES. IMPACT STUDIES OF SEVERAL GLASS STRUCTURES AT 30-110 F ARE PRESENTED FOR 0.03 AND 0.037 IN THICKNESS HPR NTERLAYERS. A SIMULATED DASHBOARD IS INCLUDED IN TEN DUMMY-WINDSHIELD IMPACT TESTS. EXTENSIVE HPR INTERLAYER RUPTURE OCCURS AT 30 AND 110 F, PRODUCING GREATER LACERATION HAZARD. /SAE/

DRIVERS CARRIED OUT A LANE-CHANGING AND PASSING MANEUVER USING CONVEX AND PLANE EXTERIOR MIRRORS ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH A PLANE INTERIOR MIRROR. THE DATA SHOWED THAT THE ADDITION OF THE PLANE INTERIOR MIRROR COMPENSATED FOR JUDGMENTAL ERRORS FOUND WHEN CONVEX MIRRORS WERE USED ALONE. WHEN THE SPEED DIFFERENCE WAS 15 MPH BETWEEN THE OVERTAKING CAR AND THE SUBJECT'S CAR, SUBJECTS ACCEPTED GAPS THAT WERE TOO SPORT IRRESPECTIVE OF THE EXTERIOR MIRROR TYPE.

AN EXPERIMENT TO DEVELOP COMPUTER METHODOLOGY FOR IMPROVING TRAFFIC FLOW THROUGH LINCOLN TUNNEL IS DESCRIBED. SOME REMARKS ARE GIVEN ON THE POTENTIAL SPINOFFS FROM THIS EXPERIMENT WHICH MAY INFLUENCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF OTHER TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS. RESULTS SHOWED A MEASURABLE INCREASE IN THROUGHPUT, HIGHER SPEEDS WITH LOWER DENSITIES DURING THE CONTROL PERIOD. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT HIGH FLOWS COULD BE MAINTAINED AT MODERATELY HIGH SPEED IF DENSITIES DID NOT REACH CONGESTION LEVELS. THE EXPERIMENT HAD BENEFITS IN PROVIDING ACCURATE TRAFFIC DATA, CALIBRATION AND CORRECTION OF MAGNETIC LOOP DETECTORS. /HSL/

THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE BRAKE PERFORMANCE OF AIR-BRAKED TRUCKS AND COMBINATION VEHICLE RELATIVE TO DECELERATION AND STABILITY. THE AVAILABLE MEANS FOR IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE ARE COVERED, INCLUDING RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON MAXIMUM COST EFFECTIVENESS. METHODS DISCUSSED ARE THE USE OF LOAD-SENSITIVE PROPORTIONING VALVES AND SKID CONTROL, WITH THE STUDY OF TRACTOR INSTALLATIONS AS A PRELUDE TO MORE WIDESPREAD USAGE OF EITHER DEVICE. RELATED AREAS OF INTEREST ARE ALSO CONSIDERED, SUCH AS THE VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS THAT MAY BE REQUIRED TO PERMIT THE USE OF THESE BRAKE CONTROLS, THE BENEFITS OF TRACTOR INSTALLATIONS ON INTERCHANGE VEHICLES, AND THE RELATIVE MERITS OF LOAD-SENSITIVE PROPORTIONING VALVES AND SKID CONTROL WHEN SO APPLIED. /SAE/
