About

Research supplier needed to further analyse static brake data from freight vehicles to improve understanding of the relationship between braking system behaviour and the potential creation of wheel flats and how these may be avoided. The work builds on prior T1350 WP3 activity, which conducted significant analysis but had a primary focus on data collection.
