As will be discussed essentially it is true that relationship between trailers does below, differ significantly from one test speed to anor, nor not slope of regression relationship differ significantly does a slope of one. However, it appears trailers do differ from slightly on average, as will be indicated. test as described by Volk.(3) In this case it was determined F no significant basis exists for using separate slopes, thus that equation inclusive of all tests speeds as shown in Figure 2 4 in Table 2) is appropriate for use. It can also (equation shown that on basis of a t test slope of combined be (0.99) is not significantly different from 1.0; thus equation would be appropriate eir to predict VDHT Trailer #i from it equation or to simply add 2.5 to VDHT Trailer #2 results is approximate average difference between two (2.5 trailers). 5 in Table 2 describes relationship between Equation two VDHT trailers with Trailer #2 as dependent variable.

Thus, 2.0 use. In comparing composite curve (equation 9) with for curves (Figure 3) difference in predicted individual Trailer #i value by using composite curve for any VDHT value of VHTRC Trailer is generally no more than 1.0. composite slope of 0.96 was found to be significant at The 90% level; so, while a slightly better estimate may be by using regression equation, it is judged by author made be satisfactory to predict VDHT Trailer #i values from to i0 describes relationship with VHTRC Equation as dependent variable. For this equation slope trailer significantly different from 1.0 at a 99% confidence level, is indicates desirability of using equation for pre- which purposes.

For two trailers average difference in 1978 was 5.4, se was reduced to 3.4 when 1974 and 1975 data were also which This reduction suggests that difference between considered. trailers during 1978 test period may have been relatively Thus, a more appropriate correction factor may be 7.0, high. this value should be verified through additional correlation but testing. be expected that values obtained by a locked-wheel skid should at a constant speed would differ from values obtained trailer a stopping distance car from initial speed to a speed with zero.
