Tire Temperature Analysis for Formula car

  • Unique Paper ID: 188427
  • PageNo: 1908-1913
  • Abstract:
  • Our project focuses on understanding that how different tire compounds (soft, medium, hard) behave at different temperatures. Since the tire plays a important role in the handling of the vehicle, grip with the surface & acceleration. Our goal is to make simulation which can generate graphs to show temperature effects on tire. Using the tire data & a friction-temperature model, the model generates 3 key graphs for each tire compound: temperature vs coefficient of friction, lateral force vs slip angle & linear speed vs time at different temperatures. The simulation shows that each compound reacts in a different way - Soft tires give better grip at moderate temperatures while hard compound gives better grip at high temperatures. This directly affects the manoeuvring and handling of the vehicle. Over all our model helps the formula car teams to make better decisions during the races. This model supports improved performance in sharp corners, straights & sudden manoeuvres.
