CRP-011: Truck Tire Characterization

Scope

Content: This research report establishes a standardized testing procedure for producing free-rolling tire force and moment data for use in vehicle dynamics simulations employed in the design and development of heavy duty trucks. Tire properties evaluated include: friction during straight ahead and cornering; lateral force and aligning torque in cornering; lateral/longitudinal force interactions during braking; and braking stiffness.
