Ride Test Results for the FAMECE Dumper and Comparison Vehicles.

Abstract

Ride tests were conducted with the dumper version of The Family of Military Engineer Construction Equipment (FAMECE), the M51, 5-ton dump truck, and the John Deere (JD544A) front-end loader in two areas adjacent to the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi. The purpose of the tests was to compare the ride quality of the vehicles at several measurement points in the cab and cargo areas (except front-end loader) and to determine the feasibility of using the FAMECE dumper or the M51, 5-ton dump truck, as a troop carrier around construction sites.
