Office of Highway Safety Tire Testing and Simulations Lawrence E. Jackson, P.E.

Tire Testing Literature review of available test data Preliminary simulations conducted Testing protocol developed Testing in May 2004 Pavement surface at accident site replicated

Calspan Tire Testing—Cornering

Calspan Tire Testing—Braking

Results—Drive Axle Tires Average peak lateral friction less than half steer axle tire Lower lateral friction Frictional braking capability about half steer axle tire Slide friction value equivalent to ice

Simulation Purpose Evaluate motorcoach driver’s statements Motorcoach’s braking and cornering capability Contribution of roadway and tires Speeds at impact Dynamics of vehicles postcollision

Simulations Depict best fit to physical evidence Representative of accident sequence Shown real time Do not represent lighting and weather conditions

Simulation Views Motorcoach chase Motorcoach driver’s potential view Fixed view Suburban driver’s potential view Motorcoach chase with good tires

Accident Severity Speed at impact 40 mph 33 mph Peak acceleration 7.6g 46.8g Delta V 16 mph 57.8 mph Suburban’s longitudinal change in velocity - Recorder: 48.7 mph - Simulation: 51.3 mph Motorcoach Suburban

Summary Motorcoach steered hard left and braked Motorcoach: 40 mph at impact Suburban: 33 mph at impact With good tires, motorcoach could have avoided impact with Suburban Unequal pavement friction induced counterclockwise rotation
