On this page you will find the evaluation report of the test with the Tyre Measurement System for heavy vehicles on the A16. The trial was carried out by Rijkswaterstaat in collaboration with the 'Verkeersonderneming'. The evaluation was carried out by the company Arcadis. The trial was carried out under the banner of the 'Beter Benutten Vervolg' (Rotterdam region) and 'File-aanpak' 2018-2021 programs. In addition, the project is included in the EU program Ursa Major Neo. Various TRTA members participated in this extensive test.

- In section 4.6, page 36, the conclusions about the effectiveness of the measurement system are included on the basis of the following questions:

1. Has the measurement system detected the correct tyre and the correct tyre pressure? 2. Were the companies concerned subsequently informed about this in a timely and clear manner? 3. Did these companies subsequently take action and, if so, how soon after notification? 4. Did this actually have an impact on the number of tyre incidents? 5. And has this ultimately had an impact on the number of lost vehicle hours?

- The recommendations are included in section 5.4, page 44;

- An English summary of the report can be found on page 5.

Follow-up tyre pressure test A16:

Based on its own experiences and supported by the results of the evaluation, the project group is committed to continuing the current information service, in order to substantially expand the number of participants and to enable information in the vehicle. Decision-making on this has yet to take place. To this end, the project group is in discussion with the policy-makers of the 'Ministerie IenW', and the 'Afdeling Verkenning & Planuitwerking Rijkswaterstaat West-Nederland Zuid' is looking for collaboration with similar initiatives within the SmartWayz / region 'Zuid-Nederland' of Rijkswaterstaat.
