    Abstract: A tire inflation system is provided for a vehicle supported by a plurality of inflatable tires. The system includes a compressor carried on the vehicle, and an air storage tank carried on the vehicle and connected to the compressor for storing compressed air. A plurality of automatically operable fill valves are provided, each fill valve being associated with a respective one of the tires so that each tire is communicated with the air storage tank via a separate one of the fill valves to increase inflation pressure in the tire when its respective fill valve is in an open position. A controller is operably associated with all of the fill valves. The controller has a multiple tire rapid inflation mode in which the fill valves associated with at least two of the tires are maintained in their open positions for an initial period until pressure in the air storage tank and the at least two tires substantially equalizes, and for a subsequent period during which the compressor provides additional inflation air to the at least two tires.

    Abstract: A method is provided for generating a ground compaction image. A pressure sensing panel is placed on a relatively rigid planar supporting surface. The pressure sensing panel is covered with a depth of particulate material. A loaded tire is placed on the particulate material, and a ground compaction image is generated with the pressure sensing panel. A ground compaction display may be created by superimposing the ground compaction image on a physical three-dimensional model of an interface between the particulate material and the loaded tire.

    Abstract: A non-pneumatic tire includes an annular inner ring, an annular outer ring, and a support structure extending from the annular inner ring to the annular outer ring. The support structure includes a plurality of spokes, webbing, cells, or other open-sided support structure. The tire includes a bump stop. The bump stop includes an inner member radially extending from a radially outer surface of the annular inner ring. The inner member has a radially outer surface facing a radially inner surface of the annular outer ring. The bump stop includes an outer member radially extending from a radially inner surface of the annular outer ring. The outer member has a radially inner surface facing a radially outer surface of the annular inner ring.

    Abstract: A tire inflation system is provided for a vehicle supported by a plurality of inflatable tires. The system includes a compressor, a main air storage tank and an auxiliary air storage tank. An automated shut off valve is disposed between the main air storage tank and the auxiliary air storage tank. An inflation sensor is arranged to detect an inflation pressure provided to the tires. A controller has a rapid inflation mode configured to initially communicate stored compressed air from both the main air storage tank and the auxiliary air storage tank to the tire or tires being inflated, and to then close the automated shut off valve so that additional compressed air from the compressor is communicated to the tire or tires being inflated without repressurizing the auxiliary air storage tank.
