New test track will aid road safety research
3 mile test road at Crowthorne, England, was surfaced using variety of materials and methods; up to 100 mph speeds, behavior of all types of vehicles, tire hysteresis, surface resistance, and other data can be measured; track curve was specially constructed to achieve accuracy of 1/16th in. over 20 ft on longitudinal alignment of bend; testing of vehicle lighting, street lighting, and traffic signals; crash injury tests; continuous measuring of driver reactions.
