New Tire Model TameTire - Opens new Dimensions for Vehicle Dynamics

The thermal and mechanical tire model developed by Michelin represents a new breakthrough in tire modeling to simulate handling.

Integrated in the leading-edge vehicle dynamics simulation platform CarMaker of IPG Automotive the tire model TameTire provides significant advantages over state-of-the-art models.

In contrast to empirical models TameTire considers tire forces and tire moments in a large range of conditions, including thermal effects, speed effects, tire inflation pressure and transient effects.

Additionally TameTire uses comprehensible physical properties with scaling parameters which are easy to handle.
