Anotácia textu normy SAE J2181 :
This test procedure is used to determine the steady-state directional control response of vehicles by measuring steady-state cornering behavior. Due to the wide range of operational conditions to which a vehicle can be subjected, the results of this testing do not provide a complete description of a vehicles total dynamic behavior; in particular, the procedure does not test the vehicles response during transient maneuvers. To fully assess a vehicles total dynamic behavior, it would be necessary to conduct other test procedures in order to evaluate the vehicles performance as a whole.
The extent of instrumentation and the required accuracy of the measurement will be dependent on the goals of the personnel conducting the test. If it is desired simply to determine the general performance characteristics of a vehicle, then this test can be conducted with minimal instrumentation and test item preparation.
