Download or read book Gravel Roads written by Ken Skorseth and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Download or read book Tire Pressure Control Through Central Tire Inflation the Lightest Foot on the Road written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operation Bigfoot was initiated by the United States Deaprtment of Agriculture (USDA) forest Service in 1988 to implement central tire inflation (CTI) to reduce the impact of commodity production such as timber and minerals on the forest environment. Cooperative work with other Federal agencies, industry and standards associations, manufacturers, and insurance industry representatives has helped make CTI technology viable and safe for commercial use. Accomplishments include validation of truck and road benefits, tire standards for low inflation pressures, and commercial availability of CTI equipment for trucks and trucks and trailer combinations over 24,000 pounds GVW (gross vehicle weight). Structures tests and demonstration projects indicate the benefits of using lowered tire pressures are real and that they can be implemented to reduce impacts on forest ecosystems. Verified benefits include: 20-30 percent reduction in required road aggregate thickness with CTI; 50-90 percent reduction in road surface maintenance with CTI; 10-85 percent reduction in road related sediment with CTI; Reduced driver injury and fatigue; Reduced vehicle operation and maintenance costs. Additional tests are planned to evaluate the effects of lowered tire pressure on pavement damage during thaw weakened periods, reduction in sediment due to reduced maintenance blading, and measured reduced impacts to the trucks. These and other planned studies will help implement CTI technology. For the covering abstract of this conference, see IRRD number 863140.

This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As national priorities have been focused both on reducing fuel consumption and improving air quality, attention has increased on reducing emissions from many types of vehicles, including light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty diesel-powered vehicles. Meeting the recently promulgated (and proposed) emission standards and simultaneously increasing fuel economy will pose especially difficult challenges for diesel-powered vehicles and will require the development of new emission-reduction technologies. In response to a request from the director of OHVT, the National Research Council formed the Committee on Review of DOE's Office of Heavy Vehicle Technologies to conduct a broad, independent review of its research and development (R&D) activities.
