This SAE standard establishes the minimum construction and performance requirements for a 15 Pole Connector Between Towing Vehicles and Trailers, for trucks, trailers, and dollies in conjunction with SAE J2742. The connector accommodates both power and ISO 11992-1 signal circuits along with dual ground wires to accommodate grounding requirements within the constraints of the SAE J2691 terminal capacity.

The demonstrated architectural model and associated graphical techniques defined herein were developed to provide a simple method of visualizing the general functional operation or behavior of a Distributed Embedded System with a strong emphasis on representing system time characteristics.

The procedure applies to heavy vehicles weighing more than 11 800 kg (26 000 lb) and particularly to those vehicles having two or more articulation joints that allow rotation in a horizontal plane. The procedure pertains to the lateral directional response of multi-articulated vehicles in avoidance maneuvers performed at highway speeds without braking.

The test procedure applies to roll coupled units such as straight trucks, tractor semitrailers, full trailers, B-trains, etc. The test is aimed at evaluating the level of lateral acceleration required to rollover a vehicle or a roll-coupled unit of a vehicle in a steady turning situation. Transient, vibratory, or dynamic rollover situations are not simulated by this test. Furthermore, the accuracy of the test decreases as the tilt angle increases, although this is a small effect at the levels of tilt angle used in testing heavy trucks. The test accuracy is accepted for vehicles that will rollover at lateral acceleration levels below 0.5 g corresponding to a tilt table angle of less than approximately 27 degrees. Even so, the results for heavy trucks with rollover thresholds greater than 0.5 g could be used for comparing their relative static roll stability.

Reference lines have been developed to which driver workspace accomodation tools can be located in vehicle space. The lines describe horizontal reference point locations as a function of vehicle H-point height (H30). One reference line has been established for use in vehicles with H-point heights (H 30) and steering wheel diameters (W9) less than 405mm and 450mm, respectively. (Class A Vehicles) This point can be used to reference appropriate workspace tools to accommodate a driver population with a male to female ratio of one to one. Separate reference lines have been established for use in vehicles with H-point heights (H30) between 405 and 530mm and steering wheel diameters (W9) between 450 and 560mm with treadle type pedals. (Class B Vehicles) See Fig. 1. Three lines are available for use in Class B vehicles depending on the percentages of males and females in the population the designer wishes to accommodate.

This SAE Recommended Practice is intended to provide a design, critical dimensions, performance requirements, and identification for gladhand-type air line couplers used to connect the brake systems of trucks, truck-tractors, and trailers when these vehicles are joined to operate as a combination unit.

The basic performance characteristics of greatest interest are airflow restriction or pressure drop, dust collection efficiency, dust capacity, and air cleaner structural integrity. This test code therefore addresses itself to the measurement of these parameters.

The air cleaner test code has been established to cover dry type and oil bath air cleaners used on internal combustion engines and to present a uniform method of determining and reporting air cleaner performance.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes performance guidelines for the capacity of the air reservoir systems used on trucks, towing trucks, truck-tractors, trailers, and converter dollies, with GVWRs over 10 000 lb, designed to be used on the highway in commercial operations.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a ballistic tank test procedure for evaluating inflator assemblies used in inflatable restraint systems. It is intended to be a general procedure for repetitive testing and suggests only general guidelines for the safe conduct of tests and data correlation. Uniform test requirements, test procedures, and data recording requirements are specified. The intent of the document is to provide a procedure employing a ballistic tank test method for determining the ability of an inflator to meet requirements for deploying inflatable restraint systems. A ballistic tank test is described which will yield repeatable and comparable results for evaluating a given inflator configuration’s pressure output versus time. Use of the ballistic tank test for comparison of various inflator configurations may be of limited value due to differences in gas temperature and mass flow effects on airbag performance as it relates to occupant protection.
