Data Differences Between Truck and Bus TBR Duties explains the operating evidence, measurements and asset details needed to evaluate this tyre topic consistently across a fleet or worksite.

Describe the Real Duty

Before using Data Differences Between Truck and Bus TBR Duties in planning, separate permanent asset data from conditions that changed during the shift.

Data Differences Between Truck and Bus TBR Duties becomes useful when the route or work cycle is broken into measurable segments. Distance, surface, stops, gradients, loading state, manoeuvres and unusual events should represent a normal operating period rather than a single convenient trip.

Data Differences Between Truck and Bus TBR Duties — Field Data Sheet

Use one time base and one asset identity throughout the survey. Separate recurring duty from temporary construction, weather or production changes.

Movement

Distance, travel time, stops, waiting and manoeuvring.

Duty boundary

Start, finish, repeat frequency and the operating period represented.

Load

Loaded, empty and partial cycles with the source of the value.

Build the Duty Profile

  1. Split the work at meaningful surface and load changes.
  2. Use machine time, distance and event records from the same period.
  3. Mark temporary conditions instead of averaging them silently.

Using the Duty Profile

Use the Data Differences Between Truck and Bus TBR Duties result alongside the current machine, vehicle and tyre documentation for the exact configuration in service.
