Abstract: In addition to GNSS antennas, other azimuth measurement components such as magnetometers may be provided on antenna alignment devices. The GNSS based azimuth may then be compared against the azimuth measured by the other components and the difference (i.e., the delta) may be calculated. Using the calculated delta and or observing the delta over time, a quality metric is calculated. For example, a lower delta may correspond to a higher quality metric and the higher delta may correspond to a lower quality metric. The quality metric may then be displayed alongside the GNSS based azimuth. The quality metric may then be used by a technician to determine the level of trust (or confidence level) of the GNSS based azimuth.

Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire having a tread with at least one profile block row delimited at each side by a respective circumferential channel which is divided into profile blocks by transverse channels which open into both circumferential channels and run parallel to one another in plan view. Each transverse channel, in plan view, is made up of two channel portions which adjoin one another at an obtuse angle of 100° to 160°. In each profile block there is a blind channel which opens into both channel portions of a transverse channel and which is elongate in plan view and, with the transverse channel, forms a channel combination running in a Y shape in plan view, which blind channel has a width, determined at the tread periphery, of 1.0 mm to 6.0 mm and runs at an angle of 0° to 60° with respect to the circumferential direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic vehicle tire having tread with a shoulder-side rib. An incision is formed in the shoulder-side profile rib and a tubular channel adjoins the incision and runs around it in an L-shape.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic vehicle tyre having a tread with at least one profile block row (3), which is delimited at each side by a respective circumferential channel (4, 5) and which is divided into profile blocks (3a) by a multiplicity of transverse channels (6) which open into both circumferential channels (4, 5) and which run parallel to one another in plan view, wherein each transverse channel (6), as seen in plan view, is made up of two channel portions (6a, 6b) which adjoin one another at an obtuse angle (?) of 100° to 160°. In each profile block (3a) there is formed a blind channel (7) which opens into both channel portions (6a, 6b) of a transverse channel (6) and which is elongate in plan view and which, with the transverse channel (6), forms a channel combination running in a Y shape in plan view, which blind channel (7) has a width (bR), determined at the tread periphery, of 1.0 mm to 6.0 mm and runs at an angle (?) of 0° to 60° with respect to the circumferential direction.
