3、ing the wet braking performance of passenger cartires when tested on vehicles equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). ABS operation isaccomplished by the use of wheel rotation rate sensors that detect impending wheel lockup andcontrollable brake pressure regulators; both of these systems ar

4、e connected to a control microproces-sor. When potential lockup is detected for any wheel or pair of wheels, brake pressure is lowered toforestall the lockup and maintain wheel rotation. This process is repeated until the vehicle comes toa stop. The necessary lateral force to maintain vehicle contro

Although there may be differences in the brakingperformance among the commercially available “vehicle-ABS” combinations, tires may be evaluatedfor their relative or comparative wet braking performance with any one

6、 “vehicle-ABS-driver”combination, by the methods as outlined in these test methods.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the measurement of two typesof ABS vehicle behavior that reflect differences in tire wettraction performance when the vehicle is fitted with a series ofdifferent tire sets to be ev

7、aluated.1.1.1 The stopping distance from some selected speed atwhich the brakes are applied.1.1.2 The lack of control of the vehicle during the brakingmaneuver. Uncontrollability occurs when the vehicle does notfollow the intended trajectory during the period of brakeapplication despite a conscious

8、effort on the part of a skilleddriver to maintain trajectory control. Uncontrollability is mea-sured by a series of parameters related to this deviation fromthe intended trajectory and the motions that the vehicle makesduring the stopping maneuver.1.1.3 Although anti-lock braking systems maintain wh

9、eelrotation and allow for a high degree of trajectory control,different sets of tires with variations in construction, treadpattern, and tread compound may influence the degree oftrajectory control in addition to stopping distance. Thus vehicleuncontrollability is an important evaluation parameter f

10、or tirewet traction performance.1.2 These test methods specify that the wet braking tractiontests be conducted on two specially prepared test courses: (1)a straight-line (rectilinear) “split-” ( = friction coefficient)test course, with two test lanes deployed along the test course(as traveled by the

11、 test vehicle); the two lanes have substan-tially different friction levels such that the left pair of wheelstravels on one surface while the right pair of wheels travels onthe other surface; and (2) a curved trajectory constant pathradius course with uniform pavement for both wheel lanes.1.3 As wit

Summary of Test Methods4.1 Methods of MeasurementTh

34、ese test methods are di-vided into two methods:4.1.1 Method ARectilinear Trajectory Braking, and4.1.2 Method BCurvilinear Trajectory Braking.4.1.3 With each method, one of three procedures (Procedure1, 2, or 3) that vary in measurement sophistication may be usedto evaluate stopping distance and vehi

35、cle uncontrollability.4.1.4 Procedure 1 is the simplest, with manually recordedstopping distance and trajectory deviation measurements. Pro-cedure 2 uses computer data acquisition and non-pavement-contact sensors to measure speed, stopping distance, and yawvelocity. Procedure 3 is the most comprehen

36、sive; it includes allthe measurement capabilities of Procedure 2 in addition to therecording of steering wheel angle throughout the stoppingmaneuver. The measurement procedures for the performanceparameters are more fully described in Section 11.4.2 Method ARectilinear Trajectory BrakingThis modeof

37、braking traction testing is conducted by bringing the vehicleto a stop in an intended rectilinear trajectory or straight linemotion, on a split- test course. The test may be conducted ata series of initial brake application speeds.4.3 Method BCurvilinear Trajectory BrakingThis modeof braking tractio

38、n testing is conducted by bringing the vehicleto a stop on a curvilinear trajectory (curved path) on a uniformtest surface pavement. The test may be conducted at a series ofinitial brake application speeds.NOTE 1Vehicle uncontrollability may be experienced more abruptlyand with greater frequency wit

39、h Method B procedures. Therefore, whenusing Method B, precautions should be exercised to avoid any possibledanger during testing. Testing shall begin with the lowest test velocitiesselected for any program and as higher velocities are approached,sufficient care shall be taken to avoid any danger to

40、the driver, the vehicle,and any on-site facilities during traction breakaway conditions.NOTE 2Test speeds lower than 10 km/h are not recommended due toinstrumentation insensitivity at this low speed.4.4 These test methods contain four annexes and oneappendix that give important information to assist

Significance and Use5.1 Braking traction is an important factor in vehicle controlespecially on wet pavements. These test methods permit anevaluation of tires for their relative or comparative perfor-mance

43、on an ABS-equipped vehicle. See Annex A1 forbackground information for interpretation of results and mean-ingful evaluation of tire design features for their influence onwet traction performance.5.2 Although stopping distance is important for vehiclecontrol, the ability to steer the vehicle on a sel

44、ected trajectoryis equally or, in some instances, more important. The wettraction capability of tires influences both of these measuredparameters since the tires are the link between the ABS and thepavement and provide the traction or tire adhesion level thatpermits the ABS to function as intended.5

45、.3 The absolute values of the parameters obtained withthese test methods are highly dependent upon the characteris-tics of the vehicle, the design features of the ABS, the selectedtest pavement(s), and the environmental and test conditions(for example, ambient temperature, water depths, test speeds)

46、at the test course. A change in any of these factors may changethe absolute parameter values and may also change the relativerating of tires so tested.5.4 These test methods are suitable for research and devel-opment purposes where tire sets are compared during a brieftesting time period. They may n

47、ot be suitable for regulatory orspecification acceptance purposes because the values obtainedmay not necessarily agree or correlate, either in rank order orabsolute value, with those obtained under other conditions (forexample, different locations or different seasonal time periodson the same test c

48、ourse).6. Test Vehicle6.1 Test VehicleAny commercially available passengervehicle equipped with an ABS may be used for the testing.However, it is important that the same vehicle (same modelyear, same version of ABS) be used for all tests in any testingprogram. Different vehicles may give different t

49、ire wet tractionperformance because of their varying handling, suspension,and ABS design parameters.6.1.1 During testing with any selected vehicle, the vehicletest mass (driver, fuel, and instrumentation load) shall bemaintained to a tolerance of 62%.6.1.2 All tests in any program of tire comparisons shall beconducted with the same driver and in the shortest time periodpossible for any selected test program.6.2 Precautions in ABS Vehicle UseAs with any complextest system, certain precautions shall be exercised in anytesting program.
