A technology platform is being developed to generate realistic rubber abrasion, which will be analyzed for material and tire development and used to forecast digitized driving analysis. This requires the development of a parametric friction surface and the generation of real reference particles. The degradation of the realistic abrasion produced is being investigated using new laboratory weathering techniques and chemical analyses. The results are being used for ecotoxicological assessments and also transferred to vehicle fleet simulations.
