Optimizing indoor tyre testing for repeatable, comparable data
The enhancement of virtual engineering demands continuous improvement in tyre modelling capabilities and in the consistency of model development processes. Most tyre models are parameterized using flat-trac machines equipped with sandpaper belts that simulate road surfaces. While these tests generally provide a reliable representation of tyre behaviour, achieving high repeatability and ensuring comparability across different

Correlation and scaling of indoor to outdoor tyre behaviour
Tyre behaviour is traditionally assessed through indoor tests performed on flat-track machines and outdoor tests conducted with skid-trailers. However, discrepancies frequently arise between indoor and outdoor results. These differences stem from several factors, including: The aim of this thesis is to investigate the root causes of these discrepancies and to improve the correlation between indoor
