Long Description: Figure C4. High-speed Off-tracking Path Differences

Figure 4 provides a graphic analysis of the simulated high speed off-tracking maneuver. In Figure 4, we see that for a single axle truck, as its axle passed the 90-degree azimuth, where the X coordinate (in feet) was zero, its Y coordinate (in inches) had arced up to about 4. Compared to a 5 axle truck, as its axle passed the 90-degree azimuth, where the X coordinate (in feet) was zero, its Y coordinate (in inches) had arced up to slightly over 15.
