“…Measuring the influence of pavement characteristics on RR is a difficult technical challenge because its contribution to the overall RR is relatively small compared to other factors, such as aerodynamic drag and tire hysteresis ( 4 ). Many disturbing factors can affect the measurements, such as road grade, acceleration/deceleration, load misalignment, temperature variations, and tire inflation pressure variation ( 93 , 102 , 103 ). Moreover, the operating conditions,, such as road wetness and the presence of ice and snow, can significantly affect RR, with cooling effects of the tire and hydrodynamic effects ( 104 , 105 ).…”

“…It is possible to measure the RR force of a car tire under real driving conditions with an in situ approach using an instrumented trailer ( 94 , 119–121 ).

“…One of the world’s few examples of this type of instrumentation is the R 2 Mk2 trailer developed at the Technical University of Gdańsk ( 109 ). Ejsmont et al ( 119 , 120 ) used the R 2 Mk.2 trailer during a study for the Minnesota Department of Transportation to measure RR at the MnROAD facility, which included a wide variety of pavement types and surface textures. It was found that the relative difference between surfaces with the lowest and highest RR coefficients was 33% (outlier data excluded) ( 119 ).…”

“…It was found that the relative difference between surfaces with the lowest and highest RR coefficients was 33% (outlier data excluded) ( 119 ). Also, a correlation between MPD and RR measurements from AC pavements was found, but this correlation was statistically not significant with RR measurements from PCC pavements ( 119 ). Overall, pavement surfaces with the lowest RR tend to be AC with dense graded aggregates and PCC with broom and turf drag surfaces ( 120 ).…”

The effects of pavement characteristics on rolling resistance of heavy vehicles have gained more interest in recent years. Rolling resistance is the result of the combination of independent (but sometimes correlated) physical phenomena that dissipate energy, which can be regrouped under three different main themes. Road roughness (wavelengths between 0.5 and 50 m) causes movements in vehicle suspensions, which dissipate energy. Pavement macrotexture (wavelengths between 0.5 and 50 mm) creates additional viscoelastic deformations on tire treads. The viscoelastic behavior of the flexible pavement structure, which is referred to as structure-induced rolling resistance, is responsible for a perpetual upward slope perceived by heavy vehicle tires. Secondary aspects can also affect rolling resistance, such as road wetness and snow. This paper addresses each of these three main phenomena from three angles of analysis: (1) theoretical modeling, (2) laboratory experiments, and (3) in situ measurements. The literature on road roughness and structure-induced rolling resistance modeling is extensive compared to macrotexture-effect modeling, as the underlying physical mechanisms are still not well understood. There is, however, strong experimental evidence that the pavement macrotexture can significantly affect rolling resistance, but these studies are mostly related to cars. There are many in situ approaches, but the results are usually based on an indirect method and the different studies are difficult to compare and sometimes inconsistent. It appears that the bottleneck of scientific research on this topic is the fundamental inability to measure the rolling resistance of heavy vehicles with a direct in situ approach under real driving conditions.

“…With the gradual strengthening of environmental awareness and the increasing risk of energy crisis, energy conservation has become the unremitting pursuit of global researchers. Vehicle rolling resistance directly determines the rationality of power matching and fuel consumption, which is the key research object and improvement index of vehicle-related researchers [ 1 , 2 ]. Because the structural form is different from traditional tires and the material is different from metal tracks, the rolling resistance theory of traditional wheeled vehicles and metal tracked vehicles is not applicable to the study of rolling resistance of high-speed rubber track assembly.…”

Due to the viscoelasticity of rubber materials, hysteresis loss due to deformation is the main reason for the rolling resistance of high-speed rubber tracks. Since the structure and material of high-speed rubber track assemblies are different from traditional tires and metal tracks, the rolling resistance theory of traditional wheeled and tracked vehicles is not applicable. Therefore, in order to determine the rolling resistance scientifically and accurately, the mechanism research of the rolling resistance of high-speed rubber track assembly is the key to the design of high-speed rubber crawler vehicles. In this paper, the stress–strain characteristics of rubber track under the action of compression, tension, bending, and driving were studied. The strain load spectrum of rubber tracks was established, and the strain cyclic load was extracted by the rainflow method. The temperature model of the rubber track was developed based on its dynamic characteristics. On the basis of energy conservation, the hysteresis loss of rubber is equivalent to the energy consumption of rolling resistance, and the theoretical model of rolling resistance of high-speed rubber track assembly is established. In accordance with the model above, the key influencing factors and changing trends of rolling resistance are analyzed, which provides a theoretical basis for the performance optimization of high-speed rubber track assembly.

Rolling resistance dictates a large part of the energy consumption of trucks. Therefore, it is necessary to have a sound understanding of the parameters affecting rolling resistance. This article proposes a semi-physical thermodynamic tyre rolling resistance model, which captures the essential properties of rolling resistance, such as transient changes due to temperature effects and the strain-amplitude dependency of the viscous properties. In addition, the model includes cooling effects from the surroundings. Both tyre temperature and rolling resistance are obtained simultaneously in the simulation model for each time step. The nonlinear viscoelasticity in rubber is modelled using the Bergström–Boyce model, where the viscous creep function is scaled with temperature changes. The cooling of the tyre is considered with both convective and radiative cooling. Moreover, the article explains different material parameters and their physical meaning. Additionally, examples of how the model could be used in parameter studies are presented.
