Rolling resistance testing
Applus Idiada
Idiada has launched a new rolling resistance test trailer designed to replicate real-world driving conditions from the vehicle’s perspective. Unlike traditional methods that focus solely on tire-asphalt friction, this innovative trailer considers key parameters like weight, camber, toe, tire pressure, velocity and temperature. These variables can be adjusted to mimic different driving environments, allowing more realistic and meaningful tests.
One of the trailer’s standout features is a sliding table principle with one complete axis, allowing two tires to be tested simultaneously. This setup ensures precise and consistent results, providing valuable data for validating tire energy efficiency. The ability to test multiple scenarios and perform sensitivity analysis makes the rolling resistance test trailer a crucial tool for enhancing vehicle setup and tire performance in everyday driving conditions. Designed to seamlessly fit into existing vehicle validation programs, the trailer provides deeper insights into friction modeling and energy consumption to meet evolving efficiency and sustainability demands.
With this launch, Idiada reaffirms its commitment to providing practical, forward-thinking solutions for vehicle and tire development.
