dc.description A thesis submitted to the College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science University of KwaZulu-Natal, in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Abstract attached. en_US
dc.description.abstract The aim of this research was to apply, refine and demonstrate an alternative approach to the design and operation of heavy vehicles in South Africa with improved outcomes in terms of road transport productivity, vehicle safety performance, emissions, congestion and preservation of road infrastructure. The research included the development and implementation of a PBS demonstration project in South Africa and the monitoring and evaluation of PBS demonstration vehicles operating in the forestry industry in the provinces of KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga. Evaluation focused on improvements in productivity (fuel efficiency and trip reduction) and load control with reference to initial results regarding road wear and safety performance. en_US
