In addition to Transportations Research Center's (the Center) independently operated test facilities, test miles can be accumulated over public roads, metropolitan areas, interstates highways, or a variety of local rural highways. Driving cycles can be duplicated or developed across the country for all terrains and climates.

TRC Inc. offers an around-the-clock, seven-day-a-week operation for fast, safe accumulation of test mileage...1,200 miles a day...50,000 miles in less than two months. 

Our professional staff is dedicated to providing you with accurate, timely, and well-planned and organized services.

• TRC Inc. can duplicate driving routes using acceleration, force, stress, and brake-temperature profiles.   The resulting data can be correlated with durability routes on the Center's roadways.  We can alter prototype components.  We also offer piggyback and comparison testing.  EPA certification and compliance services, including exhaust and evaporative hydrocarbon speciation, area also available.

• Various instrumentation packages can be assembled to measure vehicle parameters such as temperature, velocity, engine speeds, stress or strain, deflection, load, pressure and acceleration.  Instruments range from visual readouts to full computer data acquisition systems.

• Data can be reduced into plots, charts, tables, text, and can be mailed, faxed, or transmitted electronically.
