Title:
Effects of Tire Frictional Heat on Snow Covered Road Surface
Abstract:
For the quantitative understanding of the effects of tire frictional heat and compaction of vehicles on the snow layer on a pavement, a wheel-tracking test was carried out. This paper describes the heat transfer coefficient between tire and dry pavement or packed snow obtained from the combination of a wheel-tracking test and the winter road surface prediction model and shows the comparison between the test results and the computational results on the packed snow and pavement temperature.
