    RTI ramp Modified Jeep ramping an RTI ramp Ramp travel index or RTI, is a way of measuring a vehicle's ability to flex its suspension, a property also known as axle articulation. The RTI rating is used mainly in the off-roading industry to test and describe chassis limits of modified vehicles.

    Wheelchair ramp, Hotel Montescot, Chartres, France Demonstration inclined plane used in education, Museo Galileo, Florence.. An inclined plane, also known as a ramp, is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle from the vertical direction, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load.

    Ultralow strength: characterized by K = 20 MN/m^3 and representing all K values below 25 MN/m^3 for rigid pavements, and by CBR = 3 and representing all CBR values below 4 for flexible pavements D: Maximum allowable tire pressure: Unlimited: no pressure limit W: High: limited to 1.75 MPa X: Medium: limited to 1.25 MPa Y: Low: limited to 0.50 MPa Z

  6. Wheelchair ramp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelchair_ramp

    A wheelchair ramp is an inclined plane installed in addition to or instead of stairs. Ramps permit wheelchair users, as well as people pushing strollers, carts, or other wheeled objects, to more easily access a building, or navigate between areas of different height. Ramps for accessibility may predate the wheelchair and are found in ancient ...

  7. Approach and departure angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approach_and_departure_angles

    Approach angle is the maximum angle of a ramp onto which a vehicle can climb from a horizontal plane without interference. [ 1 ] It is defined as the angle between the ground and the line drawn between the front tire and the lowest-hanging part of the vehicle at the front overhang .

  8. Half-pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-pipe

    Thus, it is the ratio between height and transition radius that determines the personality of a given ramp, because the ratio determines the angle of the lip. [ 4 ] On half-pipes which are less than vertical, the height, typically between 50% and 75% of the radius, profoundly affects the ride up to and from the lip, and the speed at which ...

  9. Overhang (vehicles) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhang_(vehicles)

    Along with clearance, length of overhangs affects the approach and departure angles, which measure the vehicle's ability to overcome steep obstacles and rough terrain.The longer the front overhang, the smaller is the approach angle, and thus lesser the car's ability to climb or descend steep ramps without damaging the front bumpers.
