Cover Story: One of the main challenges in maximizing vehicle performance is the prediction and optimization of tire behavior in different working conditions, such as temperature, friction, and wear. In the field of wear understanding, different approaches are under study both in academia and industry to comprehend and simplify the complexity of this phenomenon. Combining physical and data-driven analyses based on several statistical approaches and considering a large number of high-performance vehicle telemetries, track geometries, and road data samples, as well as tires’ viscoelastic properties, the proposed methodology represents an interesting insight towards the development of a simple and cost-effective tire wear model, which is able to take into account all of the most relevant phenomena. View this paper
