Use performance curves provided in Figure 9.4.
Assuming an entry speed of 55 mi/h, at the end of the first grade speed is 38 mi/h.
At end of the second grade, speed is 27 mi/h, which is also the crawl speed for
that grade. Therefore, the effective grade is 5%.
From Table 9.4, for 8% trucks, 5% grade, and greater than 1 mile, ET = 3.5
From Table 9.5, for 4% RVs, 5% grade, and greater than 0.5 mile, ER = 3.5
