Improvement of the EU tyre labelling system for noise and rolling resistance

The main objective of this project is to improve the EU Tyre Labelling procedure for rolling resistance and noise. Several investigations have shown a lack of representativeness of the given tyre label values and how the tyres behave on real roads. The ELANORE is a joint project between the Gdansk University of Technology and EKKOM in Poland and SINTEF in Norway. The project is organised in 5 Work Packages (WP): The objective of WP1 is to find out how representative the method, specified in the UN ECE Reg.117 is, compared to measurement results on real roads. The work will be done by testing tyres according to Reg.117 on the drum facilities and comparing the results with results of road tests. WP2 will study the representativeness of the test surface specified in the regulation in comparison to the performance of the tyres on real road surfaces. This will be done by a minor Round Robin Test on a few selected ISO test surfaces in Europe, using a test vehicle and a selection of the test tyres used in WP1 and tyre road measurements on Polish and Norwegian roads. WP3 will propose a practical method of rolling resistance measurements that correlates better with measurements on real roads. An optimal replica of a road surface for drum tests will be developed and an improved test procedure for tyre fuel efficiency labelling will be proposed. The objective of WP4 is to propose improved method of measuring tyre/road noise for labelling. This will be done by using a modernized CPX trailer both on ISO test tracks and on real roads in Norway and Poland and making drum measurements on replica road surfaces. The objective of WP5 is to estimate the impact on the environment of the proposed improved EU Tyre labelling procedures for rolling resistance and noise. Results of the project will be disseminated trough scientific articles, seminars and conferences as well as through thematic TV channels.

  • Modeling the effect of electric vehicles on noise levels in the vicinity of rural road sections
    Publication

    - Archives of Civil Engineering - Year 2023

    Numerous European countries experience a steady increase in the share of electric (EV) and hybrid electric (HEV) vehicles in the traffic stream. These vehicles, often referred to as low- or zero-emission vehicles, significantly reduce air pollution in the road environment. They also have a positive effect on noise levels in city centers and in the surroundings of low-speed roads. Nevertheless, issues related to modeling noise from...

  • Representativity of ISO test track surface based on controlled pass-by measurements
    Publication

    - Year 2023

    Within the Polish-Norwegian research project ELANORE, a limited Round Robin Test has been performed on four ISO tracks in Northern Europe. The basic objective of the project is to improve the EU directive on labelling of tyres for noise and rolling resistance. This directive is based on the measurement procedures proscribed in the UNECE Reg.117. Measurements on 3 ISO tracks were performed in 2021 and presented at InterNoise 2022....

  • TEMPERATURE INFLUENCE ON TIRE ROLLING RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS QUALITY
    Publication

    - INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY - Year 2022

    Global warming makes it necessary to reduce energy consumption, which in the case of motor vehicles, is connected, among other things, with reduction of resistive forces acting on a vehicle during its motion. One of the most important components of those forces is rolling resistance, which is very difficult to measure, especially in road conditions. The article deals with issues related to the influence of the thermal state of...

  • Tyre/road noise measurements on ISO tracks using the modified CPX method
    Publication

    - Year 2022

    Tyre rolling noise test method specified in the UNECE Regulation 117 is directly used in the Tyre Labelling Directive. Noise level specified on EU Tyre Label of each new tyre available on the European market was determined based on vehicle coast-by noise measurements performed on the standard reference road surface proscribed in the ISO 10844:2014. Available data from investigations by the vehicle and tyre industry and results...

  • Selected Aspects of Pavement Texture Influence on Tire Rolling Resistance
    Publication

    - Coatings - Year 2021

    Tire rolling resistance has a significant influence on fuel consumption in cars and trucks and on CO2 emissions. Rolling resistance depends on the tire construction, pavement texture and stiffness, as well as environmental and traffic conditions. This article presents a pilot study on the impact of pavement texture on the rolling resistance of passenger car tires. Reasons why Mean Profile Depth is not a good descriptor of pavement...
