The intercept and slope of the VCL were used in COMPSOIL. In order to see how the<br />

prediction performs with these modified parameters, the measured data is compared to the<br />

predicted data in Figure 8 for six individual tyres and close general agreement was achieved.<br />

Soil displacement is successfully predicted using COMPSOIL and the parameters of the VCL<br />

from the soil bin with a heuristically chosen concentration factor of � =5.<br />
