Title: Development of adaptive anti-slipping spike for vehicle tires
Abstract: Abstract The article describes the purpose of anti-slipping spikes, which are set into tire treads of vehicles. The advantages and disadvantages of using anti-slipping spikes are revealed. The assessment of the destructive effect of the use of anti-slipping spikes on the road surface is given. The inability to simultaneously solve the problems to ensure maximum adhesion of the vehicle’s wheel to the road surface and to minimize the destructive effect of anti-slipping spikes on this surface actualize the development of an adaptive anti-slipping spike. Unlike traditional anti-slipping spikes, the pin of the designed device is retractable. The article presents the variants of the design of the developed adaptive anti-slipping spike for vehicle tires.
