Effect of variation of speed limits on intercity bus fuel consumption, coach and driver utilization, and corporate profitability. Final report, Dec 1973--Jul 1974

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7330969
The effect of speed limit and passenger load on fuel consumption was determined using actual intercity buses with simulated passenger loads over different types of terrain. In addition to road tests, laboratory type measurements were made on four intercity buses. Studies were also made to ascertain the effect of reduced speed limits on maintenance and operations.
