HIGHLIGHTS
  • This paper presents the experimental investigation of tire performance on slush.
  • Slush is defined as a mixture of snow and water, and a mixture of crushed ice and water.
  • Tire friction decreases increasing the mixture amount of snow and water.
  • Tire friction increases increasing the mixture amount of crushed ice and water.
  • The results of performed tire tests showed a good reproducibility and reliability

ABSTRACT
An investigation of tires behaviour on winter roads was always a high importance in the context of road safety. This paper presents the experimental investigation of tire performance on slush that is identified as two mixtures: a mixture of snow and water, and a mixture of crushed ice and water. The measurements of longitudinal and lateral performance including tire traction, braking and cornering were performed. Tire traction tests were performed for both mixtures with different amount of material. A decreasing in the tire friction was observed when amount of the mixture of snow and water was increased twice. For the mixture of crushed ice and water, an opposite trend was observed. The standard deviation values for the peak force coefficient showed a good reproducibility and reliability of performed tire tests.
