Design and Development of Innovative Tyre Test Facilities for Measuring Tyre Characteristics

Real-time side-slip angle measurements using digital image correlation

“…Tyre side-slip angle is not typically measured in field tests, however, are measured during tyre characterisation. The tyres are typically mounted to a rig where the side-slip angle is accurately controlled (Dora et al, 2006). Botha and Els (2015) proposed an alternative to current methods whereby the side-slip angle could be accurately measured using inexpensive, off-the-shelf cameras and digital image correlation.…”
