Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operation Bigfoot was initiated by the United States Deaprtment of Agriculture (USDA) forest Service in 1988 to implement central tire inflation (CTI) to reduce the impact of commodity production such as timber and minerals on the forest environment. Cooperative work with other Federal agencies, industry and standards associations, manufacturers, and insurance industry representatives has helped make CTI technology viable and safe for commercial use. Accomplishments include validation of truck and road benefits, tire standards for low inflation pressures, and commercial availability of CTI equipment for trucks and trucks and trailer combinations over 24,000 pounds GVW (gross vehicle weight). Structures tests and demonstration projects indicate the benefits of using lowered tire pressures are real and that they can be implemented to reduce impacts on forest ecosystems. Verified benefits include: 20-30 percent reduction in required road aggregate thickness with CTI; 50-90 percent reduction in road surface maintenance with CTI; 10-85 percent reduction in road related sediment with CTI; Reduced driver injury and fatigue; Reduced vehicle operation and maintenance costs. Additional tests are planned to evaluate the effects of lowered tire pressure on pavement damage during thaw weakened periods, reduction in sediment due to reduced maintenance blading, and measured reduced impacts to the trucks. These and other planned studies will help implement CTI technology. For the covering abstract of this conference, see IRRD number 863140.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central tire inflation technology is a vehicle control system that enables truck drivers to vary tire inflation pressures as necessary to improve mobility and reduce damage to weaker road structures. In July and August 2000, the Departments of Transportation of Saskatchewan and Manitoba jointly conducted two controlled field experiments near Wynyard, Saskatchewan to evaluate the impact of reduced tire inflation pressures on earth and thin membrane-surfaced municipal roads. One experiment evaluated damage rates for a two-lane municipal road trafficked by identically loaded trucks using normal highway and reduced tire inflation pressures. Concurrently, a second two-lane municipal road was trafficked by two groups of trucks carrying the same total payload: one group was loaded to primary highway axle weights and employed reduced tire pressures, and the second group was loaded to secondary highway axle weights and employed normal highway tire pressures. The two-lane roads facilitated side-by-side comparisons of road damage. This paper documents an analysis of Benkelman beam rebound data and surface rutting data collected on the earth roads during the experiment. Statistical tests on the Benkelman beam rebound data show that increases in deflection can be reduced or delayed when lower tire pressures are used. Additionally, statistical tests on the rut depth of the inner wheel path provide evidence that rutting damage can be reduced or delayed when lower tire pressures are used.
