3 PREFACE The Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department first implemented its police vehicle testing program in Since that time, our department has become nationally recognized as a major source of information relative to police vehicles and their use. It is our goal to provide law enforcement agencies with the information they require to successfully evaluate those vehicles currently being offered for police service. The Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department is proud to publish this information, via the internet, to all law enforcement agencies. Since the inception of our vehicle testing program in 1974, we have continually refined our efforts in this area in order to provide the law enforcement community with the most current information available. During the 1997 model year testing, the Sheriff s department expanded its existing criteria to include an urban or city street pursuit course. This course consists of multiple city block distances punctuated by the various types of turns normally found in most inner city environments. The city street course is designed to simulate the conditions encountered by most officers working in typical urban communities. The test is only conducted on vehicles offered with a factory Police Package. Since many law enforcement agencies buy non-pursuit vehicles, we also test vehicles offered in a Special Service configuration when offered by the manufacturers. These vehicles are tested in a similar fashion as Police Package vehicles however we do not subject them to the city street pursuit course. The booklet is not intended as a recommendation for any specific vehicle contained within. The Sheriff s Department conducts the vehicle testing program in order to accomplish two primary goals. To provide law enforcement agencies with the data necessary to assist those in the vehicle selection process, and to provide the various vehicle manufacturers with the input necessary to better meet the needs of law enforcement. We recognize the fact that individual agency needs can be influenced by cost, operational considerations and other factors. Our testing process is designed to address the law enforcement officer s operational requirements in terms of vehicle performance, vehicle safety, and comfort. Each test is designed and executed to simulate actual field conditions as closely as possible. The vehicles being tested are driven on city streets and interstates, as well as the performance track, by law enforcement personnel. The maneuvers duplicated during the electronic test procedures are those encountered in actual patrol and emergency operations which the law enforcement officer may encounter in the field. Interpretation of test results is the responsibility of each agency. The importance with which each individual phase is weighted is a subjective decision which should be made by each agency based upon that agency s needs. 3

24 32 LAP HIGH-SPEED VEHICLE DYNAMICS EVALUATION RESULTS This test is conducted on a high-speed driving course. It is designed to evaluate, identify and eliminate the obviously unacceptable vehicles (i.e., those vehicles that are demonstrably unstable or otherwise exhibit unsafe characteristics). For this test, four drivers are utilized for each vehicle. Each driver completes eight laps around our 1.46 mile test track at the AutoClub Speedway in Fontana, for a total of 32 timed laps. Lap timing is via a GPS based RaceLogic DriftBox02 datalogger mounted in the vehicle. Lap times are immediately recorded via RF telemetry signal produced by the data logger. Secondary lap timing is recorded utilizing a Video VBOX Datalogger mounted in the vehicle. All timing is backed up on SD cards in each unit. The fastest and the slowest lap times are eliminated, the remaining six lap times are averaged. The average time and speed are recorded next to the driver s name. Four Emergency Vehicle Operations Center driver training instructors, two each from the Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department and Los Angeles Police Department share the driving and evaluation of these vehicles. At the conclusion of the preliminary handling portion of the test, each driver completes a "Driver s Subjective Evaluation" form. If the test vehicle is judged unacceptable in this preliminary review, it is rejected and not subject to further testing and evaluation. 24

Pedal feel and travel started to feel soft with longer travel starting in the middle of third set of laps and lasted until the end of fourth set of laps, but decel rate remained very good. Cornering/Handling The car remained neutral in all corners. Body lean and bounce were minimal. Steering feel and input were very good. However, one driver remarked experiencing fuel starvation twice in lap 6 of a second set at a straight-away after some acceleration but not during stability control. Transmission (Shift Points) The transmission performed well throughout the test and kept the engine in its power-band at all times. It is only driver s error that would cause unwanted up-shifts. Engine The engine made good power on all laps. Output is well matched to chassis. Other Tires were predictable on all laps. 26

Pedal travel and stopping distance increased slightly throughout the last set of laps. Cornering/Handling This car displayed minimal understeer in all corners. This was easily driver correctable. Steering feel was very good though input experienced was quicker than expected. Body lean and bounce were minimal. Transmission (Shift Points) The transmission performed well all eight laps. *I would like to see it downshift sooner on corner exit. Engine Pulled strong to redline. Good combination of engine and chassis. No hesitation experienced. Other Tires gave way upfront sooner than expected leading to a slight understeer. 28

However, one driver claimed to experienced moderate pull to the left at the end of the back straight (approx. 98mph) on one lap (lap 4). Pedal feel was good throughout the sets but pedal travel increased slightly on the last set. Cornering/Handling This car displayed neutral to mild oversteer in all turns. Body lean and bounce were minimal, steering input/ feel were good. However, the vehicle felt too stiff especially over small road bumps at slow speed. Decrease in acceleration was felt under that condition due to early and more stability control intervention, but not severe. * This car demands very smooth driver inputs with steering and throttle to minimize stability and traction control intervention which are very invasive. Transmission (Shift Points) The transmission performed well on all laps keeping the engine in its powerband. Shift were consistent with no lag felt. Engine The engine made good power on all laps. Other Tire worked predictably on all laps. Chassis needs to be addressed. The dampening travel point needs to be longer, allowing for dampening and hold. Not dampening following by immediate jounce. 30
