Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A modular, portable, drive-through tire tread wear and brake testing system including a tire tread wear analyzer and flat plate brake tester housed in an intermodal cargo shipping container. Doors open on opposing sides of the container to permit a vehicle to be driven through it and, as the vehicle passes over the floor of the modular container and the flat plate brake tester, its tires are scanned by a flush-mounted tire tread depth scanner. The scanned output, a digitized tread profile, is analyzed for tread depth, tire wear patterns from chronic under- or over-inflation, and wheel misalignment. Cameras trained on the vehicle entering the container that feed video to monitors visible to the driver plus structural components on the floor of the container help to guide the vehicle into position over the scanner. The tire and brake report is generated immediately and transmitted to the appropriate recipient.
