  • determining the weight of a load supported by the tires;

    determining the ground speed of the mobile machine;

    compensating the determined weight for uneven distribution of the load on the tires; and

    calculating the ton-miles-per-hour for each tire as a function of the compensated load distribution and the ground speed.
