N2  - This paper introduces the US Army Roadway Simulator and discusses steering and handling test results from this laboratory-based vehicle dynamics test facility. The basic components and operating principles are briefly described, followed by discussion of steady-state and transient steering test results for two-axle vehicles up to 25,300 pound gross vehicle weight. First, the ability of the Roadway Simulator to measure vehicle understeer gradient and peak cornering capability during skidpad tests is presented. Next, the ability to perform transient steer manoeuvre tests, such as the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) fishhook test and sine steer tests, is discussed.<p />
