TIRE TRACTION RESEARCH

THE MAJOR TOPICS DISCUSSED ARE TRACTION TESTING AND TRACTION MODELING. REPRESENTATIVE TIRE DATA ARE PRESENTED TO ILLUSTRATE TWO APPROACHES TO TRACTION TESTING: WET TESTING FOR LIMIT PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY AND COMBINED BRAKING-CORNERING TESTS TO GAIN A MORE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF TIRE BEHAVIOR. A SEMI-EMPIRICAL MODEL DEVELOPED AT HSRI (HIGHWAY SAFETY RESEARCH INSTITUTE) TO SIMULATE COMBINED BRAKING CORNERING TRACTION CHARACTERISTICS IS DISCUSSED. THE SIMULATED TRACTION CURVES ARE COMPARED WITH EXPERIMENTAL TEST DATA. /AUTHOR/
