| Abstract [eng] |
Prevention from the occurrence or cause of the accident is important in vehicle safety. In Lithuania every year thousands of people have impaired or loss their life on road crashes. Among the various causes of accidents hydroplaning is an important factor to be considered. The number of accidents caused due to hydroplaning has been increasing which is evident from the report (National Highway Safety Administration). Vehicles going on the wet road are agonized from hydroplaning due to loss of control over steering and braking. At the moment of travel, the vehicle tire on a wet road completely loss contact over the road and separated from it by a film of water are called hydroplaning. By the loss of contact of the tire, vehicle steering ability and braking capability is completely lost. Computational models of hydroplaning tire on a wet road are prepared and evaluated to determine the critical hydroplaning speed and other factors through 3D models. The computational model is prepared, analyzed and visualized for better understanding of the phenomenon hydroplaning. |
