Abstract: The performance of a braking system is affected by a variety of tyre-road characteristics like the tread pattern, the depth of the tread, road conditions, and tyre pressure; all these parameters will have a direct impact on braking distance. Aquaplaning can occur in severe rain with substantial water build-up on the road surface, even with relatively fresh tyres with minimal sipes. To reduce this risk, wet weather tyres contain unique rubber formulations and tread patterns. Vehicle accidents hold greater severity both in terms of damage to the vehicle and loss of life. Therefore car manufacturers prioritise vehicle and occupant safety over other additional features. An investigation has been carried out to simulate the functioning of an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and evaluate its performance under these various tyre-road interaction parameters. The results show that the performance of ABS was greatly influenced by tread patterns, tyre inflation, vehicle weight, and road conditions.
