abstract="An analysis of the relationship between productivity and six-safety-related performance measures for twelve Canadian logging truck configurations operating under different weight scenarios is presented. The most desirable configuration for each sets of gross weight limits and the range of weight limits within which a given configuration satisfies the dynamic performance measures and yields acceptable levels of productivity are identified. The performance measures were calculated using a specially developed nonlinear yaw/roll model. The critical performance measures which are sensitive to truck configuration and weight limit condition are found to be load transfer ratio, static rollover threshold and rearward amplification.<p />",
