Many of us ‘old-timers’ agree that our under-graduate education of the 1960’s and early 1970’s was more intenseand technically demanding than currently required. In her recent book, Galloway compares thehigher level education needed in 1900 and in 2000 between civil engineering and medicine, andnotes that it still only takes four years of academic study to become a P.E. in civil engineering,whereas it now

These values provide insight into the causes of the road load forceand let the designer compare values with other vehicles.Equation 1.1 can then be substituted into equation 1.2, providing a relationship betweenthe two unknown parameters µ 0 and CD, and the vehicle speed and rate of deceleration.By measuring the vehicle speed and deceleration (and by also determining the frontalarea and air density), we can solve for the rolling resistance and the coefficient of drag.These coefficients can then be used to predict the motion of the vehicle in response tovarying tractive effort and conditions.The simplest method to determine
