Tire tread optimization method to improve to push aside the water from the road contact patch

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the development of a method for optimizing the tread pattern to push aside the water from the road contact patch. This technique works with ready-made tread patterns of any type. Today, the methodology under consideration is relevant, since it prevents the occurrence of one of the most common causes of road accidents - aquaplaning. Currently, it is impossible to eliminate the risk of such an effect. It can only be reduced by slowing down or ensuring a uniform load on all wheels, trying to drive through the puddle with all four wheels.
