Optimizing tire design: dynamic tire footprint testing at any speed
XSENSOR Technology Corporation
Advances in proprietary hardware have resulted in much faster recording rates for high-resolution pressure sensors. Furthermore, advances in the dynamic response rate of sensors mean that cleaner images and more reliable pressure data are available. These two technological advances have resulted in the ability to capture dynamic tire footprint measurements at more than 100km/h.
A high spatial resolution allows the user to visualize the fine details in a tire such as the sipes, grooves, tie bars and notches. Using a sensor with too low a resolution will blur these features and prevent the user from seeing the dynamic interaction that they have with rolling speed.
Another aspect to consider is portability. Systems now offer fast setup and the ability to move from one test track to another, or to different parts of the test track. Portability, and bringing your system from your lab to the track, should be at top of any company’s mind.
The XSensor High-Speed Tire system allows users to capture tire contact and pressure data at speeds up to 150km/h. The system can be assembled and configured to record data in as little as 10 minutes and can be easily transported from the lab to the test track. With this flexibility, several test scenarios can be captured in a single session.
The system captures clear, full, high-resolution images at any speed. The data is available within seconds of recording and little to no post-processing is required. This enables engineers to review data immediately while on the track, make adjustments and get immediate feedback on the changes.
