Information about the available friction of individual tyres is crucial for the operation of different ADAS systems, such as collision mitigation and ACC. The information about aquaplaning is especially useful because aquaplaning severely hampers tyre-road interaction. In addition, validation tools are needed for complex physical tyre models, which are common development and research tools in the tyre industry. The optical tyre sensor is capable of accurately measuring the deformations in the inner ring of the tyre. Partial and full aquaplaning can be detected using the sensor. It also provides a research tool for understanding the phenomenon itself.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
