Replica road pavements for rolling resistance measurements

Abstract

Due to the need to strictly control the measurements, tire manufacturers strive to conduct most of the tests indoors. This allows them to perform them regardless of weather conditions, all the yearlong. Currently, a lot of research concerns the rolling resistance of tires. These include both development activities and mandatory measurements related to the granting of environmental labels. Unfortunately, standardized tests are conducted on smooth steel drums, which has a very negative impact on the representativeness of the results. To improve the representativeness, it is necessary to ensure realistic conditions of interaction between the tire and the road by guaranteeing that the texture of the roadwheel facility drum is as close as possible to the texture of the actual road pavement. The article presents in details the technologies for making replicas of road pavements that allow for realistic conditions of interaction between the tire and the road.
