- SIM Data of 36 trucks - 704 tyres analyzed;
- SIM Accuracy vs Multi-deck Scale: within
2,5 %;
- SIM Precision @ 95 % = 2,6 tonne /Axle Group;
- Vertical Stress: 577 – 1149 (Ave. = 903 kPa);
- Lateral Stress: 89 – 233 (Ave. = 170 kPa);
- Longitudinal Stress: 52 – 237 (Ave. = 124 kPa);
SLIDE 58 Summary of SIM data: Mantsole, TCC on N1 Continue:
- Stress Ratios: 10:1,88:1,38
- Average Max Vertical > 1,59 x Inflation
Pressure;
- Max Vertical Stress/520 kPa : 1,37 to 2,75
(NCP);
- Vertical Stress Patterns of approx. 22 % of
tyres show “abnormal” patterns;

SLIDE 72 Summary & Conclusions:
- SIM Technology proven to be successful locally and
- verseas;
- Ratio of Stresses: Vert : Lat : Long = 10 : 2 : 1,5
- SIM results useful to Civil Engineers and road
building;
- Challenge to develop detailed design and analyses
methods utilizing SIM data;
- Finite Element Analysis Methods (FEM) to be used
more widely with SIM data in road design;
- SIM systems should be improved for wider use such as
“WIM”;
