Fraunhofer’s Technology Platform for Tire Abrasion and the Identification of Its Emissions in Road Traffic (TERIS) project, a collaboration between the ICT, IGD, and IWM institutes and led by the Fraunhofer LBF (Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability), has reached a first major milestone in its work developing standardized laboratory methods for generating, analyzing and predicting tire wear.
The interim results
Fraunhofer LBF researchers have developed a basic design concept for an abrasion machine intended to generate and collect realistic tire abrasion from rubber samples. The team analyzed various existing test bench designs and adapted requirements from real-world driving data to laboratory conditions.
