Abstract This study evaluated the costs and benefits of tire pressure monitoring and maintenance systems for commercial fleets by conducting a yearlong field test. Specifically, the study’s goal was to determine whether these systems could influence maintenance intervals and practices and improve performance and safety. The team evaluated tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMSs) and automatic tire inflation systems (ATISs) on two private fleets. The first fleet, CLI Transport, monitored 24 married tractor-tanker pairs at their maintenance terminal in Altoona, PA. The team installed Wabco’s Integrated Vehicle Tire Monitoring (IVTM) System on 12 tractors and Meritor’s Tire Inflation System by Pressure Systems, Inc. (PSI) on 12 tankers. The second fleet, Gordon Food Service (GFS), monitored 24 tractors, 30 standard 50-foot trailers, and 20 refrigerated pup trailers (reefer pups). The team installed HCI Corporation’s (HCI’s) Tire-SafeGuard on 12 tractors and 15 standard 50- foot trailers. GFS ensured the equipment would operate together during the entire field test. In addition, the team installed Meritor’s Tire Inflation System by PSI on 20 reefer pups. The team used fuel logs, maintenance records, and technician failure/inspection reports to analyze the impact of the equipment on maintenance practices, performance, and safety. The field test results showed the use of TPMS/ATIS equipment reduced the operational costs of the fleet and improved the driver’s awareness of the tractor-trailer tires. The test fleets experienced a 1.4-percent improvement in fuel economy over the control fleet. The test fleet equipped with TPMS/ATIS equipment exhibited an increase in the life of the drive tires by 19 percent compared to the control fleet. Using the analysis results, the team estimated the equipment costs would be recovered in less than 18 months. The return on investment (ROI) dropped to less than 6 months as the cost of fuel and tires increased. The findings from the field test and the ROI calculations confirm that the use of TPMS/ATIS equipment will reduce fleet operating costs. 17. Key Words 18.

  • What You Need to Know About Mounting Radial Tires on Classic Vehicle Rims
    What You Need to Know About Mounting Radial Tires on Classic Vehicle Rims Over the past 100 years, tires, and the wheels that support them, have gone through significant changes as a result of technical innovations in design, technology and materials. No single factor affects the handling and safety of a car’s ride more than the tire and the wheel it is mounted on and how the two work together as a unit. One nagging question that has been the subject of a lot of anecdotal evidence, speculation, and even more widespread rumor is whether rims designed for Bias ply tires can handle the stresses placed on them by Radial ply tires. And the answer is - it depends. It depends on how the rim was originally designed and built as well as whether the rim has few enough cycles on it, and how it has been driven. But most importantly it depends upon the construction of the tire and how it transmits the vehicle's load to where the rubber meets the road. In this paper, we want to educate you on the facts - not the wives tales or just plain bad information - about how Bias and Radial tires differ in working with the rim to provide a safe ride. Why is there a possible rim concern between Radial and Bias Tires? The fitting of radial tires, to wheels and rims originally designed for bias tires, is an application that may result in rim durability issues. Even same-sized bias and radial tires stress a rim differently, despite their nearly identical dimensions.

    Division of Materials and Waste Management December 2018 Guidance Document #640 Standards and Requirements for Scrap Tire Transporters Purpose This educational guideline addresses owner and operator responsibilities when registering and operating a scrap tire transportation business which either picks up tires in Ohio or delivers tires to an Ohio destination and is intended to guide readers through some of the major requirements of the scrap tire rules. However, it is only a guide and the appropriate sections of the Ohio Administrative Code should be read in their entirety. Applicable Rules and Statutes Ohio Revised Code 3734 Ohio Administrative Code 3745-27-54 through 3745-27-56 Who must register? Chapter 3734.83 of the Ohio Revised Code states that “….no person shall transport scrap tires anywhere in this state unless the business or governmental entity that employs the person first registers with and obtains a registration certificate from the director of environmental protection.” It should be noted that there are several exclusions from the requirement to become a registered scrap tire transporter which are outlined below. However, if a transporter does not meet one of the specific exclusions provided below, then registration with Ohio EPA is required. The requirement to become a registered scrap tire transporter is not required if any of the following apply: 1. If 10 or less scrap tires are transported per load; 2. If tires are transported only for the transporter’s own agricultural use or in producing or processing aggregates; 3. If the transporter is a solid waste hauler who transports 10 or fewer tires which are incidental to the solid waste load; 4.

They are required to be lighter and more fascinating to the buyer all the time. This implies that it's important to perform a lot of accurate strength assessment on wheel styles. The wheel rim plays a major role in vehicle dynamics. This paper deals with the design and model of different wheel rims based on weight optimization and also structural analysis has been carried out. It has been compared with standard values by varying two different materials. In addition, from the obtained outputs of simulations and the weight optimization, we suggested Aluminium alloys as most suitable material for SUV. Model is created by using SOLIDWORKS software 2015 and structural analysis & weight optimization is done by using ANSYS WORKBENCH 16.0. 1 INTRODUCTION by considered two different materials namely Aluminum and forged steel and their relative performances have A sport or suburban utility vehicle (SUV) is similar to a been observed respectively.

The information included in this Data Book has been put together as an engineering and technical reference to support the users of Michelin tires. The data is, to the best of our knowledge, accurate and complete at the time of publication. To be as useful a reference tool as possible, we have chosen to include data on as many industry tire sizes as possible. Particular sizes may not be currently available from Michelin. It is advised that all critical data be verified with your Michelin representative prior to making final tire selections. The data contained herein should be used in conjunction with the various standards ; T&RA1, ETRTO2, MIL-PRF- 50413, AIR 8505 - A4 or with the airframer specifications or military design drawings. For those instances where a contradiction exists between T&RA and ETRTO, the T&RA standard has been referenced. In some cases, a tire is used for both civil and military applications. In most cases they follow the same standard. Where they do not, data for both tires are listed and identified. The aircraft application information provided in the tables is based on the most current information supplied by airframe manufacturers and/or contained in published documents. It is intended for use as general reference only. Your requirements may vary depending on the actual configuration of your aircraft. Accordingly, inquiries regarding specific models of aircraft should be directed to the applicable airframe manufacturer.
