Evaluating Tire Pressure Control Systems (TPCS) to improve productivity and mitigate pavement damage
Abstract
The imposition of seasonal load restrictions (SLR) on the thaw-weakened secondary roads interrupt the transportation of raw materials to processing facilities; for the forestry industry in particular, this has very significant impacts on productivity and costs. FPInnovations-Feric Division (Feric) has investigated the potential for Tire Pressure Control System (TPCS)-equipped trucks to travel with full, legal loading during the SLR period …
