Are there any specific regulations or standards for the tire inspections?
Are there any specific regulations or standards that the proposed LiDAR-based tire inspection system must comply with for commercial use in the transportation industry?

Thank you for your question. Both the Technology Maintenance Council (TMC) which is part of the American Trucking Association (ATA) and SAE International have recommended practices for tire inspections. There are Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) that define items like minimum tread depth and inflation. That said, this project has the potential to influence all of these practices and regulations. It is also important to have a historical view of the tire in this project.
