The report compiles data from an exploratory investigation of the effects of truck ride quality on highway safety. Measurements made of typical ranges of in-cab conditions (vibration, noise, and temperature) to which a truck driver is exposed were correlated with subjective ratings of these conditions. The test program was performed with one base-line truck operated under various conditions and a number of in-service trucks volunteered by drivers and fleet operators. The report will be of interest to State transportation agencies, truck manufacturers and fleet operators.
