Tire Pressure Special Study: Vehicle Observation Data.

摘要

Tire Pressure Special Study: Vehicle Observation Data is the third in a series of research notes containing results from the Tire Pressure Special Study (TPSS) conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2001. The focus of this research note is on results from the vehicle inspections and tire measurements. Previous topics of TPSS research notes included the study methodology and the results from the driver interview data. In 2000, Congress passed the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act. Section 12 of this act directed the Department of Transportation to complete a rulemaking within one year, requiring implementation of a warning system in new motor vehicles indicating significantly under-inflated tires.
