Providing vehicle running life in case of loss of tyre air pressure

Abstract

This paper comprises general information on the tyre air pressure loss problem and methods for ensuring vehicle mobility in case of such pressure loss, namely the information on current tyre-wheel system development trend, as well as the use of special internal supports (run-flat) of different design. Furthermore, the paper describes practical aspects of implementation of this system, reveals positive and negative characteristics and contains a conclusion on the system development prospects depending on their application.
