开发该程序是为了提供一种使用可接受数据预测卡车性能的实用方法。它旨在帮助任何关心卡车选择问题的人。通过遵循指示，可以确定智能卡车选择所需的信息，而不必考虑所涉及复杂因素的来源或推导。有了现成的卡车规格、表格中提供的信息和最少的计算量，就有可能预测:（a）在给定操作条件下，从具有给定特性的卡车上获得的性能。 （b） 在给定操作条件下，卡车满足不同性能要求所需的特性。本报告包括一份程序表和10份数据表。有关卡车能力预测程序的完整说明，请参见SAE技术报告HS-82《卡车能力预测程序》。ty预测程序包含在SAE技术报告HS-82《卡车能力预测程序》中。HS-82第1部分除程序表和表格外，还包含工作表和示例。第2部分通过实例演示了如何获得除成绩能力以外的一些答案，并给出了计算瞬时加速度以及在规定速度极限之间加速所需的时间或距离的详细过程。 第3部分给出了术语、基本关系和构成程序基础的公式，讨论了因素和方法的可靠性，并给出了评估风对空气阻力影响的方法。

The procedure has been developed to provide a practical method for the prediction of truck performance using accepted data. It Is designed to help anyone concerned with the problem of truck selection.By following directions, it is possible to determine the necessary information for intelligent truck selection without being concerned with the origin or derivation of the complex factors involved. With readily available specification of a truck, information provided in the tables, and minimum of calculation, it is possible to predict:(a) The performance obtainable from a truck of given characteristics under given operating conditions. (b) The characteristics required in a truck to meet different performance requirements under given operating conditions.This report comprises a procedure form and 10 tables of data. A complete explanation of the truck ability prediction procedure is contained in SAE Technical Report HS-82, Truck Ability Prediction Procedure.ty prediction procedure is contained in SAE Technical Report HS-82, Truck Ability Prediction Procedure. Part 1 of HS-82 contains, in addition to the procedure form and tables, work sheets ans an example. Part 2 demonstrates by practical examples how to obtain some of the answers other than grade ability, and presents a detailed procedure for computing instantaneous acceleration and the time or distance required to accelerate between specified limits of speed. Part 3 gives terminology, the fundamental relations, and the formulas which form the basis for the procedure, a discussion of th reliability of factors and methods, and presents a method for evaluating the effect of wind on air resistance.
