TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Tire inflation pressure influence on a vehicle stopping distances JO - International journal of traffic and transportation engineering (Rosemead, Calif.) A1 - Rievaj, Vladimír A1 - Vrábel, Ján A1 - Hudák, Anton SP - 9 EP - 13 VL - 2 IS - 2 N2 - Health and ensure the safety of the road is now a priority in Europe. The authors deal with the adhesion problems of tires - ground contact under process of vehicle braking. The proper tire pressure is just part of many factors inflicting stopping distances of vehicle. The article describes the stopping distance dependence on tire pressure. It has been tested three probable options (e.g. overcrowding, under-inflation and adherence to the values specified by the manufacturer).
