Hi t vago

I wanted to do some coastdown testing but I need your help.
First as this topic is very technical the translation does not always represent what it is actually transmitting to me, that's why I asked if it's possible that I try to explain myself in the less technical way, maybe this way the translation will be easier.

For the coastdown test it takes 3 values.
1st vehicle frontal area I already have.
2nd Density of the air, this value as you get it, there is some site where you can see this value or it is through calculations. I have tried several sites of Weather but do not have this value.
3rd period between samples, what is the value that you think is most appropriate for these tests.

What is the procedure for getting the results, what kind of road is the most suitable for the test and what values can I get, just to get an idea if I'm not doing something wrong.

Thanks
José Rodrigues
