摘要：	As a consequence of NTSB Safety Recommendations H-02-26 and H-02-28, NHTSA performed a study to investigate the effects different load conditions may have on the dynamic rollover resistance of 15-passenger vans. The two vans used in this study, a 2003 Ford E-350 and a 2004 GMC Savana 3500, are representative samples from the only two automobile manufacturers producing 15-passenger vans for the 2004 model year. The GMC Savana 3500 was factory-equipped with electronic stability control (ESC). Each van was evaluated with up to four load configurations depending on the test performed. The GMC Savana 3500 was tested with ESC enabled and disabled. Two maneuvers were used in this study: the Slowly Increasing Steer (SIS) and the NHTSA Road Edge Recovery (RER, also known as the NHTSA Fishhook). The SIS maneuver was used to measure maximum lateral acceleration and terminal yaw stability. The RER maneuver was used to quantify dynamic rollover resistance.
