6 Incremental Fuel Consumption Due to Pavement Roughness APPROACH Components of Rolling Resistance (RR) Variations in normal force exerted on pavement have direct correlation with RR. On smooth surface the variations are small & RR is affected by the deformation of the tire due to vertical load and torsional loads on the tire. On rough road surface the excitation force due to roughness can result in the loading & unloading of the tire & suspension resulting in added RR. Additional force required to overcome the RR is proportional to change in the variation in vertical forces Components of Rolling Resistance Rolling resistance force for tire running on smooth road (RR ts ) Due to tire deformation and hysteresis Additional tire rolling resistance force due to road roughness (RR ta ) Due to excitation force resulting from the unevenness of the surface & vehicle speed Rolling resistance force due to increased motion in the suspension (RR s ) Due to excitation force transmitted through the tire & power dissipated through suspension damper Making a world of difference. sm Slide No. 11 Incremental Fuel Consumption Due to Pavement Roughness APPROACH Components of Rolling Resistance (RR) Forces derived based on QCM & extending the model to full vehicle dynamics. RR ts calculated using tire hysteresis coefficient, static vertical deflection & tire rolling radius RR ta & RR s are calculated using a frequency response function (FRF) First calculate the transfer function between the road input & tire center & to sprung mass vertical response for a QCM Magnitude & phase as a function of freq. required for each tire Also requires the road input to be defined as a PSD Left to right symmetry assumed but not for aft Integrate tire response to road input over the temporal freq. range of interest Add forces: RR = RR ts + RR ta + RR S Ratio of RR to the load carried by the tire is RRC Employ RR in the formulation of the vehicle dynamics model and perform simulation over the road roughness profile (elevation vs. distance) to estimate fuel consumption. Making a world of difference. sm Slide No. 12 Pavement Engineering & Science Program 6
7 Incremental Fuel Consumption Due to Pavement Roughness APPROACH: Road Roughness Input Select 7 roads ranging from very good to very poor pavement surface condition. Calculate spatial PSD (ft^2/cycle/ft) for each from the elevation profile. Convert spatial PSD to a temporal PSD (ft^2/hz) for each speed of interest. Each temporal PSD will have a different input freq. range (i.e., higher speed = higher freq. input) Spatial PSD ( English Unit) Making a world of difference. sm Slide No. 13 Additional Tire Rolling Resistance Due to Roughness Sample transfer function between ground and front axle tire center & suspension for Compact Car Linear analysis is performed to compute a state space model, which is used to calculate transfer function Making a world of difference. sm Slide No. 14 Pavement Engineering & Science Program 7
