The aim is therefore to analyse the current state of knowledge as well as known research activities on this question in a preliminary study and to identify research gaps and information needs for further research. In particular, it is to be determined which influences lead to cracks in wheels in freight…

The findings of the study provide a neutral overview of further research needs in a timely manner and provide a scientifically justified prioritization of which further investigations must follow. · See information under point 2 "Procedure"
