TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Influence of load and inflation pressure on the tyre rolling resistance JO - International journal of automotive technology A1 - Ejsmont, J. A1 - Taryma, S.

The article presents results obtained in the Technical University of GdaƄsk during laboratory and road measurements of different car tyres rolling on different pavements. The knowledge of rolling resistance characteristics is important for modelling car dynamics as well as fuel consumption. It is also necessary to establish proper test conditions in the future standardized on-road method of measuring rolling resistance. The results indicate that while an increase of load always leads to the increase of rolling resistance force, the influence on Coefficient of Rolling Resistance is more complicated and unpredictable. They also indicate that tyres with high rolling resistance are more sensitive to inflation pressure changes than low rolling resistance tyres.
