Presentation

Pressure mapping insights for high-speed tire analysis and advanced design

Over several years, Tekscan has been collaborating with Calspan on testing tire dynamics at high speeds. Two Calspan engineers will be presenting on the data they have obtained using our soon-to-be-released to the market (February 2023) High-Speed TireScan™ system. This system revolutionizes tire testing because for the first time, tire patch pressures can be captured on a flat-track under high velocity conditions. Previously the only way to capture this data was on a rotating drum at lower speeds. This presentation will discuss how R&D teams can instrument their own machines with this novel technology to analyze tire dynamics.
