Experimental Instrument for Studying Scaled Tire's Slip-Friction Characteristics

This research aims to design and develop a new experimental instrument that can test a scaled wheel in any desired scenario. In this paper, the scenario will be the scaled wheel dynamic during braking. Since the common cause of car accident is the inability to brake the vehicle in time by the driver. Hence, the research will focus on pinpointing the maximum braking force at a certain slip ratio. However, due to the limited access to high-precision apparatus, only the experimental instrument and the testing of the braking system design are achieved. Hence, the main outcome of the project is to validate that the relationship between the wheel dynamic and forced occurred during braking can be studied through the project design and can be used to create future improvement based on the system for commercial use.
