  • Method for evaluating the difference between the situation at a given moment on a worksite and a reference state for the operating conditions for tires of civil engineering vehicles on the site
    Patent number: 7660679
    Abstract: A method for evaluating the difference between the situation on a site at a given moment and a reference state in regards to the operating conditions of tires of heavy vehicles of the civil engineering type, wherein a user determines at least one zone on the site and determines n parameters which are characteristic of the operating conditions for tires in the zone. The user allocates to each parameter a variance dimension (xi) and enters this dimension in a processor capable of performing an automatic consolidation I of the dimensions of the n parameters. The processor performs a consolidation of the dimensions of the n parameters to give I, the variance dimension index for the zone.
