The Development of Methods to Improve Roadhold of a Vehicle on Ice-Covered Surfaces Using the Dynamic Tire Friction Potential

This article describes the relationship between tribological properties of the friction pair elastomer — ice-covered supporting base and roadhold properties of the wheel in various modes of motion. The authors present a review and analysis of scientific and technical literature on the possibilities of improving roadhold performance of tires on ice-covered surfaces. Various ways of increasing the roadhold and braking forces, manifested in the contact sliding friction forces, and improving the vehicle’s roadhold properties are considered in the article (DTFP effect). A new alternative method of improving roadhold properties of the vehicle on ice is proposed. It uses the law of control by torque delivered to the wheel.
