POSSIBILITIES OF ERROR AND POSSIBILITIES OF UTILIZATION OF VARIOUS METHODS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF DYNAMIC WHEEL FORCES OR GROUND FORCES ON VEHICLES

THE POTENTIAL SYSTEMIC ERRORS AND THE RELATIVE ACCURACIES OF THE DETERMINATION OF DYNAMIC WHEEL FORCES FROM TIRE DEFORMATION (BRAUNSCHWEIG AND MUENCHIEN METHODS), FROM RIM DEFORMATION (DARMSTADT METHOD), AND FROM THE BENDING MOMENT OF THE AXLE WERE DESCRIBED AND EVALUATED. THE MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGICAL USES OF VARIOUS WHEEL FORCE MEASURING METHODS ON PAVED ROADS AND RURAL ROADS WERE DISCUSSED. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE AXLE BENDING MEASUREMENT IS LEAST BESET WITH SYSTEMIC ERRORS AND IT IS THIS METHOD WHICH WAS RECOMMENDED FOR FIELD USE. /AUTHOR/
