AVL-DRIVE Truck benchmark guidance_V02_091002.docVIP

 The present “Truck benchmark guidance with AVL-DRIVE” represents a recommendation for AVL-DRIVE measurements. This test cycle is not a “must” for driveability evaluation, but it might be helpful for the driver using these instructions. This test cycle was set up to assure that all AVL-DRIVE relevant events can be measured. We want to point out that some manoeuvres do not fulfil the road traffic regulations of most countries due to exceeding the speed limits. Therefore it is recommendable to use a test track, if available, or suspend certain suggestions. For a benchmark of different Trucks a test cycle should be chosen to achieve comparable results. Truck benchmark guidance with AVL-DRIVE Truck benchmark guidance with AVL-DRIVE 2 1.
