Estimation of the minimum demand for tyres in public passenger car transport: an essential component for safety in public transport

Abstract

A study prepared by the JST's National Directorate for Motor Vehicle Accident Investigation (DNISAU) carried out an exercise calculated for urban, interurban and tourist public passenger transport.

The study estimates the minimum demand according to the characteristics identified as dominant in the companies' fleet, both in terms of the technical category of the vehicles and the axle configuration for a two-year cycle. The specific cutback of these services responds to the interests and scope of the JST.

This article deals with the main aspects of the study published on the official JST website.
