When onlysnow is referred to hereafter, it should be understood that ice isimplied as appropriate.5.2 A series of maneuvers are conducted to character

28、izeseveral aspects of the tire performance in snow, since a singlemaneuver is not sufficient to characterize all aspects of a tiresperformance.6. Interferences6.1 Factors which may affect tire snow performance andmust be considered in the final analysis of data include:6.1.1 Snow/ambient temperature

29、,6.1.2 Mechanical breakdown of snowflake into granularcrystals,6.1.3 Solar heat load and tire temperature,6.1.4 Tire wear condition or preparation,6.1.5 Tire pressure and vertical load,6.1.6 Test vehicle characteristics,6.1.7 Snow surface characteristics,6.1.8 Test driver, and6.1.9 Rim selection.7.

30、Apparatus7.1 Due to the nature of these test methods, specific require-ments for apparatus will be limited. A general discussion oftypes of apparatus and their uses follows.7.1.1 Time MeasurementThis provides one of the simplestand lowest cost methods of quantifying tire performance.However, since t

31、ime measurement inherently involves averag-ing over a time period, the measurements obtained provideonly a general overview of performance.7.1.1.1 Time measurement apparatus may be onboard thevehicle or stationary and may vary from handheld stopwatchesto optical start/stop gates or combined apparatu

32、s for measure-ment of time and other properties (for example, fifth wheelapparatus).7.1.1.2 Many tests measure time to complete a slalom orhill-and-curve course. Other tests involve measuring the timeF1572 08 (2015)2necessary to reach some condition, such as the time necessaryto stop from a given sp

33、eed or the time to achieve a certainspeed from rest.7.1.2 Speed and Distance MeasurementVehicle speed anddistance measurement may be used for evaluating tire snowperformance. There are a number of technologies for measur-ing speed and distance.7.1.2.1 Fifth Wheel BasedThis test method requires that

34、alightly loaded free-rolling wheel be attached to the vehicle. Arevolution counting device on this wheel is used to providetypical distance resolutions of 1 cm (0.4 in.). Fifth wheel typedevices are highly reliable but may slip on low friction surfacesor bounce on a rough surface, providing inaccura

35、te readings.Afifth wheel may not be appropriate on a road circuit handlingcourse. Fifth wheel type devices are not suitable for use inradical maneuvers or situations where the vehicle may slide orspinout, as these maneuvers may cause damage to the devices.See Test Method F457 for additional informat

36、ion on fifthwheels.7.1.2.2 Non-Contact OpticalOptical sensors are availablewhich can measure both longitudinal and lateral speed. Sincethese sensors do not contact the road surface they may be usedwithout damage in tests which may involve spinouts orsignificant lateral motion. However, optical senso

37、rs depend onsurface microtexture and they may not work on all surfaceconditions.7.1.2.3 Wheel SpeedA wheel speed sensing device (opti-cal encoder or tachometer) mounted on the wheels of the testvehicle permits the measurement of rotational speed of thewheels and the calculation of distance traveled.

38、 These testmethods may be prone to error due to wheel slip or changingrolling radius. Wheel speed sensors are usually used inconjunction with 7.1.2.1 or 7.1.2.2 to determine the extent ofwheel spin.7.1.2.4 AccelerometersSeveral commercial performancecomputers exist which calculate speed and distance

39、 traveledbased on internally mounted accelerometers.4These devicesperform numerical integration to compute speed and distancefrom the acceleration signal. Accelerometer-based devices arenon-contact and self-contained; they are easy to transferbetween vehicles. These devices are best suited to tests

40、whichinvolve primarily straight ahead motion and which involveevents of short duration.7.1.2.5 RadarSelf-contained radio and microwave speedsensing devices are not widely used for tire performancetesting. Development of these devices is continuing.7.1.2.6 TelemetryVehicle position sensing equipment

41、isavailable which utilizes both stationary and vehicle mountedtransceivers. Using multiple stationary antennae, this equip-ment may provide dynamic vehicle position, speed and orien-tation data with great accuracy. The disadvantages to thisapproach are the cost of the systems and the difficulty inmo

42、ving the system to a different test site. Telemetry is notwidely used at present but may be of value in the future.7.1.3 Acceleration MeasurementAcceleration measure-ment is a primary technology used for evaluating tire snowperformance. Due to their low cost and ease of mounting,three-axis accelerom

43、eters provide a simple way to evaluatesome aspects of tire performance.7.1.3.1 Accelerometers function by measuring the accelera-tion of a vehicle. This acceleration depends on the forcesexisting at the tire/surface interface.7.1.3.2 Accelerometers typically have bandwidths in excessof 100 Hz, allow

44、ing dynamic measurement of forces in ahandling test.7.1.3.3 Drawbacks to the use of accelerometers include:sensitivity to wind and vehicle orientation changes, such asbody pitch and roll, which occur in handling maneuvers(gyro-stabilized platforms can be used to eliminate this prob-lem); the need to

45、 mount the accelerometer at or near the centerof gravity of the test vehicle to obtain accurate data; the factthat accelerations on snow and ice surfaces are typically smallin magnitude; and the fact that accelerometer signals aretypically noisy, leading to the need for filtration of the signal.See

46、Practice F811 for additional accelerometer usage informa-tion.7.1.4 Vehicle OrientationDevices to measure vehicle ori-entation include gyroscopes, wheel steer angle transducers andsome telemetry systems.7.1.4.1 Measurement of the test vehicles orientation aboutits pitch and roll axis is typically us

47、ed for correction ofaccelerometer based test systems.7.1.4.2 Measurement of the test vehicles orientation aboutits yaw axis as well as wheel steer angle measurement are usedin cornering performance testing.7.1.4.3 Due to high cost, vehicle orientation measurementdevices are typically used only on te

48、sts requiring a high degreeof accuracy.7.1.5 ForceDirect measurement of tire/surface forces isnormally accomplished using load cells.7.1.5.1 Load cells provide the most accurate measure of tireforces under dynamic conditions.7.1.5.2 Using specially designed suspensions, load cellbased systems may be

49、 built which are not significantly affectedby body roll of the test vehicle.7.1.5.3 Due to mounting requirements, load cell-based sys-tems typically are not easily transferred between multiplevehicles.8.
