Durability Courses
The primary durability course is a 1,665-ft (507.8-m) "dog bone"-shaped track that includes the following elements:
- 1-in deep random chuckholes
- 0.75-in (1.91-cm) chatter bumps at a 15-degree angle
- a section simulating a high crown intersection
- 4-in-deep (10.16 cm) chuckhole
- a section simulating a railroad crossing
- 6-in (15.24-cm) staggered bumps
- a section designed to twist the bus frame
The alternate durability course has the same elements, but the elements are positioned differently relative to one another from the primary course. The alternate durability course is located on the straight section of the opposite side of the test track.
