Investigating the factors affecting tire wear of heavy and off-road vehicles and technologies for its wear detection and control

One of the reasons for the short life time of heavy tires is wear, caused in the tire by various factors. Heavy vehicle tires are more affected by abrasion and wear for various reasons, such as high weight, movement on rocky ground, heavy loads exerted on the vehicle, and as a result, have a relatively shorter life time. Although in recent studies, research has been conducted on abrasion due to several cases, in this article, the effective factors on abrasion of heavy vehicle tires are studied according to their special working conditions. New methods of wear detection and control of the wear process are discussed. This study will help identify the key causes of tire wear, providing suitable working environment for tires, distinguishing more sensitive parts of the tire, and recognizing better operating conditions. Finally, this paper introducer wear detection technologies using sound waves and acoustics and by means of neural network and wear detection sensors, and the effect of tire wear on car fuel consumption is investigated and a new technology of selfrepairing tires is introduced.
