Ensuring vehicle safety by means of tyre characteristics improvement
EDN: YWDDEU
Abstract
Introduction (problem statement and relevance). The paper is devoted to systematization and analysis of the international standards being developed and adopted ones (UN Regulations and UN Global Technical Regulations) in the field of vehicle tyres having a direct impact on the wheeled vehicles safety due to the road resistance (wheels rolling resistance) limitation, sound level decrease when driving on asphalt pavement, increase in tyre adhesion with bearing surfaces with low adhesion coefficients – wet asphalt, packed snow and ice.
The scientific novelty consists in the research aimed at limitation of tyre tread abrasive wear, development of test methods to evaluate the tyre wear during road and bench tests, quantitative uncertainty and possible systematic and random errors occurring during tyre testing, neglecting which can negatively affect the results of supervision at the market of tyre products released on the basis of type approvals.
The practical significance consists in the recommendations on application of advanced standards for the tyre safety parameters, including the tyre environmental safety, in the Russian national legislation via the voluntary standards system, taking into account the difficulties of coordination and approval of the draft amendments to the compulsory Technical Regulation “On wheeled vehicles safety” by the Eurasian Economic Union member countries.
