This paper demonstrates an optical tyre sensor platform developed for the tread deformation measurement. A short literature survey of rolling resistance study methods is presented. The methodology and corresponding procedure for an optical measurement platform are introduced. Validation experiments were conducted on a chassis dynamometer and an instrumented passenger car. An asymmetric tyre tread deformation along the contact patch was observed. The influences of the wheel load, velocity, and inflation pressure on the deformation of the tyre tread were examined.Read More
