Development of a Grip and Thermodynamics Sensitive Procedure for the Determination of Tyre/Road Interaction Curves Based on Outdoor Test Sessions

Farroni, Flavio; Sakhnevych, Aleksandr; Timpone, Francesco

Designers and technicians involved in vehicle dynamics face during their daily activities with the need of reliable data regarding tyres and their physical behaviour. The solution is often provided by bench characterizations, rarely able to test tyres in real working conditions as concerns road surface and the consequential thermal and frictional phenomena. The aim of the developed procedure is the determination of the tyre/road interaction curves basing on the data acquired during experimental sessions performed employing the whole vehicle as a sort of moving lab, taking into account effects commonly neglected.
