Abstract	, FERlC's OrTO 2000 truck-performance simulation program is described. The basic theory behind the simulation technique is explained and the general power equation that underlies all calculations is presented. Modeling of the driver is based on six parameters: straight-line driving speed, speed around curves, acceleration and braking techniques, gearshift technique, and gear shifting time. Modeling the road is based on the distance, slope, curve radius, surface type, and speed limit for each road segment. The logic and flow of the simulation technique is based on iterative steps of 0.1 seconds and is centered around the I limits imposed by the driver, the road parameters, and the vehicle's mechanical limits. The structures of the program's user interface and of the various modules are briefly explained. I The drive-train component modules include engines, transmissions, axles, and tires. Vehicle modules are used to define a wide range of tractor and trailer configurations, and I vehicles are assembled with their components in a separate module. Road modules include a road editor and tools to join and divide roads, as well as modules for importing and I averaging GPS profiles. In the final section, three possible uses of orro are outlined: the I cost of choosing a larger engine, the costs and henefits of resurfacing a road, and the I economics of changing to a different vehicle configuration.
