Validation of a Surrogate Vehicle for Certification Testing of Coupling-Mounted Luminaire Supports

摘要

The report contains the results of tests performed to validate the FHWA bogie vehicle as a surrogate for testing coupling-mounted sign and luminaire supports. The tests were performed at the FOIL located in McLean, Virginia. Vehicle tests using 1979 Volkswagen Rabbits were compared with tests using the FHWA FOIL bogie. The comparisons included in the report are used to show that the FOIL bogie is validated as a surrogate vehicle for testing coupling-mounted luminaire supports.
