Abstract
The present article depicts the results of the investigation into automobile braking parameters and traction characteristics on the different road surfaces. The results of the investigation into automobile braking (the automobile deceleration and coefficient of traction), while braking in winter conditions, i.e. on ice and snow, are presented. The values of deceleration of the automobile while braking on various non‐typical surfaces, on the asphalt, covered with the motor oil or resin, while driving across the petrol spot, and on other surfaces of the road, are presented. Such data are necessary while modelling the automobile's movement in various road conditions and while carrying out the examination of traffic accidents.
Highlights
The automobile is driven along various road surfaces
In the course of investigation it was shown that a slightly higher deceleration was typical for the automobile, equipped with ABS, in the course of its braking on ice
In this case a slightly higher deceleration was typical for the automobile without ABS
Summary
Sometimes the situation occurs, when there are places on the road, fit for traffic, where the coefficient of traction of the surfaces with the wheels is different. Further the values of deceleration of automobiles and traction coefficients of their wheels while braking on different road surfaces in each definite case will be submitted. Such data are necessary while analysing and modelling the automobile’s movement in various road conditions, while restoring the course of traffic accidents and while carrying out the examination of traffic accidents [1,2,3,4]. In our case these were the automobiles FORD ESCORT
