Contribution to the application of the image processing theory in determining the middle specific tire pressure on ground at motor vehicles

Abstract

One of the most important characteristics of the special (military) vehicles is possibility to move off-road. In order to achieve appropriate possibility characteristics, military vehicles need, beside other things, to fulfil geometric parameters of vehicle, traction characteristics, stability and ability to overcome obstacles of low load-bearing capacity. The contact between tire and ground is very significant for ensuring adequate performance of motor vehicles and great attention must be paid to it. With that in mind, this paper has developed and illustrated the method for calculating specific tire pressure on ground with use of image processing theory.
