Treacherous weather coupled with dark evenings can make driving hazardous, so it’s vital you ready yourself and your car before the season takes hold. From heavy rain to ice and snow, winter will throw all sorts of extreme weather your way — so it’s best to be prepared. By checking the condition of your car and changing your driving style to adapt to the hazardous conditions, you can keep driving no matter how extreme the weather becomes. To help you stay safe behind the wheel this season, here’s an in-depth guide on the dos and don’ts of winter driving. From checking your vehicle’s coolant/antifreeze to driving in thick fog, heavy rain and high winds — this guide is packed with tips and advice on driving in even the most extreme winter weather. PREPARING YOUR VEHICLE FOR WINTER DRIVING Keeping your car in a good, well maintained condition is important throughout the year, but especially so in winter. At a time when extreme weather can strike at any moment, your car needs to be prepared and ready for the worst. The following checks will help to make sure your car is ready for even the toughest winter conditions. COOLANT / ANTIFREEZE Whatever the weather, your car needs coolant/antifreeze all year round to make sure the engine doesn’t overheat or freeze up.

  • Use of Snow Chains
    Use of Snow Chains The use of tire snow chains and the criteria for when to apply them varies widely throughout the county. Improperly applied snow chains have caused significant damage to the apparatus and delayed the response of units. This memorandum is intended to provide guidance on the use of snow chains during various types of inclement weather. In general there are two types of chains in use in the county: 1. Permanently installed “On-Spot” chains. 2. Standard removable tire chains. Permanently mounted “On-Spot” chains or “automatic chains”, consist of short lengths of snow chain attached to a small drive wheel that, when activated, contacts the inside tire of the rear duals. These devices rely on centrifugal force to throw the lengths of chain under the tire. Depending on need, these chains can be raised or lowered from the cab of the apparatus. For best operation these chains should be engaged while the unit is moving. These chains work well when the apparatus can maintain slow but steady speeds, such as in shallow snow or on intermittently clear or covered roadways. These chains will not work well in deep snow or when conditions bring the apparatus to a crawl. DO NOT drive faster than 30 mph when you are using “On-Spot” chains! RAISE the chains anytime that they are not absolutely necessary. Driving at higher speeds for prolonged periods will damage or destroy the “On-Spot” assembly and will cause tire damage that may lead to failure. Removable standard tire chains, also known as “drop chains”, are applied manually to the outside tire of the rear duals.

  • A Technical Survey on Tire-Road Friction Estimation
    Friction 5(2): 123–146 (2017) ISSN 2223-7690 DOI 10.1007/s40544-017-0151-0 CN 10-1237/TH REVIEW ARTICLE A technical survey on tire-road friction estimation Seyedmeysam KHALEGHIAN1,*, Anahita EMAMI2, Saied TAHERI1 1 Center for Tire Research (CenTiRe), Department of Mechanical Engineering, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061, United States 2 Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061, United States Received: 23 September 2016 / Revised: 04 November 2016 / Accepted: 24 January 2017 © The author(s) 2017. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract: Lack of driver’s knowledge about the abrupt changes in pavement’s friction and poor performance of the vehicle’s stability, traction, and ABS controllers on the low friction surfaces are the most important factors affecting car crashes. Due to its direct relation to vehicle stability, accurate estimation of tire-road friction is of interest to all vehicle and tire companies. Many studies have been conducted in this field and researchers have used different tools and have proposed different algorithms. This literature survey introduces different approaches, which have been widely used to estimate the friction or other related parameters, and covers the recent literature that contains these methodologies. The emphasize of this review paper is on the algorithms and studies, which are more popular and have been repeated several times. The focus has been divided into two main groups: experiment-based and model-based approaches. Each of these main groups has several sub-categories, which are explained in the next few sections. Several summary tables are provided in which the overall feature of each approach is reviewed that gives the reader the general picture of different algorithms, which are widely used in friction estimation studies.

The task of this master’s thesis is to use data from the Laser Road Surface Tester to detect road sections with risk of aquaplaning. A three-dimensional model based on data from road surface measurements is created using MATLAB (version 6.1). From this general geometrical model of the road, a pond model is produced from which the theoretical risk ponds are detected. A risk pond indication table is further created. The pond model seems to work well assuming that the data from the road model is correct.

Division: Air Transport Issued: May 2001 Classification of title: Unclassified -2- NLR-TP-2001-242 Summary Hydroplaning of aircraft tires is often a contributing factor in take-off and landing overrun and veeroff accidents. Therefore hydroplaning of aircraft tires has been studied for many years. The majority of the current knowledge on hydroplaning was obtained in the 60’s by mainly NASA studies. Since then new tire types like radial tires were introduced for civil aircraft. This paper discusses the hydroplaning characteristics of these modern tires. Simple theoretical models are presented to analyse the hydroplaning characteristics. It is concluded from this analysis that modern tires have lower hydroplaning speeds than previously assumed. To further confirm the results found in this paper, it is recommended that systematic tests should be conducted on the static mechanical characteristics of modern aircraft tires in combination with hydroplaning tests. -3- NLR-TP-2001-242 Contents 1 Introduction 4 2 Theory of hydroplaning 4 3 Hydroplaning speeds of modern aircraft tires 7 3.1 Predicted hydroplaning speeds 7 3.2 Experimental hydroplaning speeds 8 4 Conclusion 9 5 Recommendation 9 6 References 10 (10 pages in total) -4- NLR-TP-2001-242 1 Introduction Hydroplaning of aircraft tires is often a contributing factor in overrun and veeroff accidents.
