Summary of Test Method4.1 The test apparatus consists of an automotive vehiclewith one or two independently functioning test wheel systemsincorporated into it. Each test wheel system contains a con-tinuously variable

22、brake system and a pavement wettingsystem. The test wheel is equipped with a standard pavementtest tire, a reference tire, or a specimen tire as required forperforming pavement surface measurements or tire compari-sons, respectively. See 5.3 for standard tire references.4.2 The overall system is con

23、trolled by a programmablecontrol unit. The proper test control program is selected in thecontrol unit for either pavement braking friction or tirecomparison between a reference tire and a specimen tire.4.3 The test apparatus is brought to the desired test speed.Acontrolled amount of water is optiona

24、lly delivered ahead of thetest tire and the braking system is actuated to control the slipratio of the test wheel.As the brake is applied to the test wheel,the actual rotational velocity of the tire becomes less than thelongitudinal component of the tire velocity. As a result of thisvelocity differe

25、nce, commonly called the slip speed, a longi-tudinal force is generated called the longitudinal braking slipfriction force.NOTE 1Water delivery is not used when testing during winter on iceor snow or at subzero temperatures.4.4 The resulting resistive force from friction acting be-tween the test tir

26、e and pavement surface is sampled, filtered,calculated, and recorded by suitable data acquisition routines.The distance of travel of the test vehicle is added up over timeand recorded with the aid of suitable digital fifth wheelinstrumentation.4.5 For tire comparison testing two identical test wheel

27、s,both are subjected to the same test run control logic for equalspin velocities and loads in parallel wheel paths on the sametest track.4.6 The braking slip friction coefficient of the paved roadsurface is calculated and reported as slip friction numbers,sfn(t), at selected instances in time or tra

28、veled distance, sfn(x).4.7 The slip friction numbers are typically presented in agraphical form. See Fig. 1 for Cartesian plots of slip frictionnumbers versus slip speed or slip ratio with identification of:4.7.1 Peak friction value,4.7.2 Its corresponding critical slip ratio,4.7.3 An estimated slip

For example, speeds range up to 130 km/h atairports runways.5.2 Braking SystemThe speed of the test wheel shall becontrolled by a suitably rated brake system. For example, thismay be accomplished

31、by a hydraulic pump as a braking device.The pump can be installed in a closed hydraulic circuit suchthat the energy delivered by the test wheel is dissipated eitherby a hydraulic motor that augments the tow vehicle drivesystem or by a suitable pressure reduction valve and a thermalheat exchanger.
