Jurisdictions currently provide information on winter road conditions through qualitative descriptors like bare and fully snow-covered. Ideally, these descriptors are meant to warn drivers beforehand about hazardous roads. In practice, however, discernin...

Tire wear particles (TWPs), as a type of thermosetting microplastic (MP), accumulate in aquatic environments due to their wide application in road traffic globally. The increase in temperature because of friction heat may cause aging of tire materials, i...

The purpose of a road vehicle?s friction brakes is to convert a vehicle?s kinetic energy to thermal energy. When doing so, the brakes should not be heated to such temperatures at which their efficiency could be reduced. The objective of the measurements ...

A high-quality and secure touchdown run for an aircraft is essential for economic, operational, and strategic reasons. The shortest viable touchdown run without any skidding requires variable braking pressure to manage the friction between the road surfa...

As off-road vehicles, in addition to field transportation, another vital function of agricultural tractors is to provide power for field machinery. Therefore, the dynamic performance of the power take-off (PTO) driveline directly affects the field reliab...

This paper deals with the modeling of rolling resistance and the analysis of the effect of pavement texture. The Rolling Resistance Model (RRM) is a simplification of the no-slip rate of the Dynamic Friction Model (DFM) based on modeling tire/road contac...

As cities grow in size, traffic also increases, thus making the population more exposed to road noise and traffic accidents. It is therefore important to study and understand which properties of the pavement influence its acoustic impact and skid resista...

(1) Run-off-road (ROR) crashes are a crucial issue worldwide, resulting in a disproportionate number of traffic deaths. In safety research, macro-level analysis on large datasets is usually conducted by linking explanatory variables to ROR crash frequenc...
