The on-road portion of the Pilot Testing took place from October 23, 2005 through January 19, 2006.<br />

This period of time included the holidays and involved considerable bad weather that caused some<br />

additional delays. The map in Fig. 15 shows the east-west route. The route traveling south is shown<br />

in Fig. 16, and the route traveling north is shown in Fig. 17. Each route was traveled twice (once<br />

with standard dual tires and once with NGSWBTs). It should be noted that the routes taken were not<br />

strictly identical, but were very similar.<br />
