Nach RDKS/TPMS und TPRS nun ein RDTS

Boffins at Coventry University have developed a technology which fires a high-pressure jet of compressed air in front of tyres, literally blowing away the water on the surface of a wet road, and in the process dramatically reducing the risk of aquaplaning.

Are truly intelligent tyre systems coming soon? Part One

As tyre experts, our job is to know what tyres are available on the market right now, so we can fit the most appropriate products and advise our customers. But we’re also interested in what’s coming up next in the tyre world.

Aquaplaning minulostí? Vědci chystají systém, který doslova odfoukne vodu před pneumatikou

Systém nese označení RDTS (Run Dry Traction System) a na svědomí ho mají vědci z výzkumného centra pro dopravu a města budoucnosti, spadajícího pod zmíněnou univerzitu. Řešení je v principu velmi jednoduché. Před pneumatikou je umístěna nádoba se stlačeným plynem, který v případě potřeby vodu z vozovky doslova odfoukne. Pneumatice tak výrazně usnadní práci, protože voda se k plášti vůbec nedostane, případně jí bude výrazně méně.

Researchers at Coventry University in the United Kingdom are testing a newly developed device that prevents vehicles from hydroplaning and losing traction control in rough road conditions. The Run Dry Traction System (RDTS) was built as part of a two-year project led by Professors Mike Blendell and Ravi Ranjan of the Future Transport and City Center at Coventry University.

Aquaplaning Prevention Goal of New Safety Device

Coventry University researchers are hoping to save lives through a new device they’ve developed to prevent vehicles from aquaplaning and losing traction control due to adverse road conditions.

Run Dry Traction System could prevent aquaplaning

New technology being developed by researchers from Coventry University could spell an end to the age-old danger of aquaplaning.

Coventry University researchers develop new device to prevent aquaplaning and save lives

A new device that could prevent vehicles from aquaplaning and losing traction control due to adverse road conditions has been developed by Coventry University researchers.

New device will stop trucks from aquaplaning, scientists claim

Researchers say they have developed a device that prevents vehicles including HGVs from aquaplaning during adverse road conditions. The Run Dry Traction System (RDTS) prevents water and other contaminants from reaching a vehicle’s tyres by firing a jet of compressed gas close to the front of the wheel.

Eradicating aquaplaning

Coventry University’s Research Centre for Clean Growth and Future Mobility has invented a new technology to prevent aquaplaning.
