US Tyre manufacturer OTR Engineered Solutions has launched TrackIQ, a software that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to design custom rubber tracks for equipment manufacturers, distributors or certain end users.

The company says it can shorten the concept design stage from several months to as little as a day. OTR engineers work with customers to outline their appearance and performance requirements; the system then produces three dimensional (3D) track concepts/ ideas.
Customers can compare tread patterns on traction, ride quality, handling and durability before choosing a design, OTR then builds a physical model of the chosen track, which the customers can trial as a prototype.
Engineering vice president Patrick Sexton said: “The platform enables us to work with customers in real time, incorporate their aesthetic and performance requirements, and rapidly generate 3D track concepts for immediate review and evaluation.”
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, OTR specialises in off-road tyres, wheel and tracks for manufacturers and the aftermarket, operating from 32 facilities across the US, UK, Germany, Czech Republic, China, Thailand and Sri Lanka.
