Analysis and Evaluation of the Effect of Studded Tyres on Road Pavement and Environment (I)

Abstract

In order to determine the effect of studded tyres on road traffic safety, this article, based on Lithuanian and foreign countries researches, gives an overview of the performance of winter tyres, influence of the type of tyres on fuel consumption. Also, it presents the dependency of accident risk on road pavement condition, studies the effect of studded tyres on road pavement and pavement marking, gives an analysis of traffic accidents on Lithuanian roads and streets in different aspects.

Model of Radial Deformations of Protector of Vehicle Tire

“…Dent radius c is equal Value F is selected such way, that pressure , acting at tire and road contact when the tire is loaded with , is equal to the average pressure in the contact sphere -protector , with the evaluation of coefficient of filling with spheres in the contact. Taking into account, that according to elastic resolution: This effect could have influence on the sliding [16] and on the investigation of contact between tire and road as well in the aspect of noise [17] and safety [18].…”

Analysis and Evaluation of The Effect of Studded Tyres on Road Pavement and Environment (III)

“…Th us, in the economic evaluation of studded tyres the analysis of their benefi t and damage was carried out, i.e. the following aspects were analyzed and compared: the price of studded tyres; their eff ect on braking distance, fuel costs, road pavement, pavement marking, initiation of particulate matter (PM) and on the increase in noise emissions (Laurinavičius et al 2009;Vaiškūnaitė et al 2009).…”
