The need for an efficient method of weighing the wheels of moving highway vehicles has become more pressing in recent years, particularly since highspeed, controlled-access highways have become a reality. On roads such as our Interstate Highway System, it is no longer safe nor feasible to stop vehicles on widened shoulders for weighing and measurin

Investigation of the effect of the use of the turn penalty was undertaken. Several trees from the detailed and intermediate networks in Waco, Texas with and without a turn penalty were compared and differences within each set of trees analyzed. The conclusions were as follows: Minimum path trees without a turn penalty (zero turn penalty) did not di

Interactions of linear and angular accelerations are frequently experienced by pilots during aircraft maneuvers. Several recent studies have indicated that the otoliths (detectors of linear acceleration) may influence responses of the semicircular canals (detectors of angular acceleration). To obtain some clearer evidence of such possible effects,
