Vehicle-Pavement Interaction

This research project will examine the interaction between the rubber and the road, especially as it relates to special design considerations for geometry, safety, and noise. This includes evaluating pavement textures, developing lab test protocols, parametric studies, and building a vehicle dynamics and interface stress distribution database.
