  6. In the past 25 years, traffic has dramatically increased on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge 1961 Traffic 1.5 million 2007 Traffic: 27 Million 1952 Traffic: 1.1 million [Maryland Transportation Authority, 2007]

  7. At typical highway speeds, overcoming drag requires about two-thirds of a truck engine’s output [McCallen, 2004] [LLNL, 2010] How much power from a truck’s engine is needed to overcome aerodynamic drag? Aerodynamic Drag CD = 0.6 Rolling Friction and Accessories
