Investigation of Severe Abrasive Truck Tyre Wear
In the design of tyres, rolling resistance and wear resistance cannot be optimized at the same time. Tyres with high rolling resistance have good wear performance and good adhesion, whereas tyres with low resistance have poor wear performance and poor adhesion. It is therefore necessary to …

Generation, Characterisation and Potential Health Effects of Tyre Wear Particles
Every time we drive, as our tyres turn on tarmac, the rubber surface wears away, releasing micro and macroscopic tyre wear particles into our environment. Tyre wear particles are rapidly becoming a significant contributor to urban and suburban air pollution, driven by the move away from internal …

Scoping of Presence and Impacts of Tyre Wear Particles on Soil Systems
… concerns over environmental contamination by tyre wear particles (TWPs) have been growing. While previous studies have examined their abundance and ecotoxicological impacts in aquatic environments, research on their abundance in roadside soils—the primary sink of contamination—and their …

Plastic pollution: Investigating environmental pathways and critically evaluating interventions
… of microplastics, <br/>synthetic fibres and tyre wear particles (TWPs) (Chapters 2 and 3), and further <br/>explores the fate and distribution of TWPs in the natural environment (Chapter 4). Mid and downstream measures to prevent entry, or removal of plastic pollution in the natural …

An Investigation of Higher Capacity Urban Freight Vehicles
… of rear axle steering allows reduction in both tyre wear and rear axle load limits, which permits greater vehicle fill before rear axle loads are exceeded. These results are compared, in Chapter 7, to an alternative method for modelling manoeuvrability (Performance-Based Standards). Finally, …
