Impact of Tire Inflation Systems on Road Design and Maintenance

One of the potential benefits with equipping forest haul trucks with Central Tire Inflation systems is the use of less surface material in the construction of forest roads. The researcher will investigate the optimal surface thickness for CTI traveled roads. The findings will be presented in the form of a report.
