The brief

The high-level objective of this work is to further our understanding of the relationship between braking system behaviour and the potential creation of wheel flats, and how these may be avoided.

T1350 WP3 has done a significant amount of analysis in exploring the objectives set in the research, but the primary focus of the work was on data collection.
