Developing a Vehicle Hydroplaning Simulation using Abaqus and CarSim
… necessary for the driver to control the vehicle. Hydroplaning is a phenomenon which occurs when a layer of water builds up between the tires of a vehicle and the road surface which leads to loss of traction that prevents the vehicle from responding to control inputs such as steering, braking or …

Multi-scale Finite Element Modeling of Rubber Friction Toward Prediction of Hydroplaning Potential
Hydroplaning is a phenomenon that occurs when a layer of water between the tire and pavement pushes the tire upward. The tire detaches from the pavement, preventing it from providing sufficient forces and moments for the vehicle to respond to driver control inputs such as breaking, accelerating and …

Systemic Network-Level Approaches for Identifying Locations with High Potential for Wet and Hydroplaning Crashes
… dry ratios and simplified approaches to estimate hydroplaning speeds. A fraction of all wet crashes is hydroplaning; although they are related, the difference between a "wet crash" and "hydroplaning" is a wet-crash hydrodynamic-based severity scale is less compared to hydroplaning where the driver …

Effects of Inlet Design on Hydraulic Efficiency and Sediment Cleanout of Bridge Deck Drains
… accumulation. Inadequate drainage can result in hydroplaning, which can diminish highway safety. To evaluate the controls on drainage inlet efficiency and compare currently deployed inlet design performances, 576 controlled laboratory experiments were conducted testing grate type (rectangular bar …

An investigation into the effect of waterblast on concrete and asphalt surfaces
… for safer landings by reducing the risk of hydroplaning. Hydroplaning occurs when water is pooling at the surface of the runway reducing severely the friction which dangerously increases airplane braking distance. When a large aircraft lands, approximately 1.4 pounds of rubber per tire is …

Improved Constraint Mode Tire Model with Analytical Derivations and Numerical Approximations
… dynamics, vehicle-terrain interactions, hydroplaning, etc. Numerous studies have been conducted in the field of tire modeling techniques. Existent empirical, semi-empirical and analytical tire models are studied in this study, accompanied by discussions of their individual pros and cons. …

Deep ocean clay crusts: behaviour and biological origin
… of pore pressures, which may encourage hydroplaning, and explain the observation of very low interface friction coefficients. It is therefore suggested that smooth pipelines offer more sliding resistance by minimising the risk of pellet crushing. This thesis proposes that wet sieving of …
