Experimental validation of different approaches for thermodynamic simulation of passenger car tyres

Due to the intensified integration of simulation and modelling into the development of automotive vehicles and their assistance systems, the expectations of accuracy and computational efficiency in simulation are increasing rapidly. In addition, simulation finds more and more application in the process of vehicle homologation, which were a pure experimental discipline in the past. In any case, not only demands affecting vehicle modelling but also refined tyre modelling become more important. In recent years, with continuing refinement in tyre simulation, the needs for coping with tyre temperatures and the resulting influences on the tyre characteristics have been considered important.
