Influence of Temperature on Tire-Pavement Friction-1: Laboratory Tests and Finite Element Modeling

The temperature development in tire-pavement contact region results in a complex relationship between temperature and friction. Tire rubber hysteresis on a road is considered to play an important role in countering skidding for a vehicle travelling at high speed. Past studies showed that the contribution from hysteresis component in comparison to adhesion has a larger influence on friction measurements. Variation in the tire temperature may...
