Presentation

Rethinking longitudinal grip simulation from advanced real condition measurements

It is well known that tire longitudinal grip characterization relies on a non-physical tire radius. However, limited research has explored the impacts of this convention on tire modeling and real-time simulation. This presentation discusses the findings of applied research that critically examines this issue. Groundbreaking results will be presented, showcasing the use of cutting-edge technology to measure the dynamic loaded radius of a tire under real-world conditions. These outcomes enable the development of high-realism tire models, which are crucial for virtual testing and enhancing vehicle safety
