A manufacturer of semitrailers measured the mechanical tensions with 8 strain gauges with the aim to verify the finite element calculations on which the designed is based. Test drives with new light weight vehicles (3 axles) were carried out over mountain passes. The investigation focused on difficult drive situations (e.g. narrow curves) designed to reflect usage profile. Data read-out was performed via Remote Link.
