Split Coefficient Courses

    Smithers maintains a number of split coefficient surfaces in different configurations that enable customers to evaluate braking, powertrain, and traction control systems.

    • Hills – 10%, 15%, and 20% ice/asphalt split mu inclines for testing traction control components
    • Circles – 300’, 600’, and 1600’ diameter circles with ice inner lanes and packed snow outer lanes
    • Straights – alternating mu and split mu surfaces for evaluating brakes and drivetrain components
