Global automotive
aquaplaning solution has the potential to reach 37.13 thousand units in 2030,
advancing with a CAGR of 37.64% between 2026-2030. Rising awareness towards road
and vehicle safety and increased technological advancement in automobiles are driving
the growth of the global automotive aquaplaning solution in the forecast years.
Aquaplaning, also
referred to as hydroplaning, occurs when a film of water builds up between the
tires and the road surface, which breaks the continuity between the tires and
the road resulting in loss of control over the vehicle. Aquaplaning occurs when
the proportion of water on which the vehicle passes is greater than the
proportion of the thread on the vehicle tires. The grooves on the tires cannot
scatter the amount of water on the road, which makes the car susceptible to aquaplane,
which could be treacherous. Generally, aquaplaning acts on the front tires as
the front tires splash away the water present in front of the rear tires,
reducing the quantity of water which comes in contact with the rear tires. The
braking systems are usually integrated into the front wheel, and this means
that in these conditions, steering and braking inputs will reduce, and the
driver will have less control over the vehicle.
A Rise in Safety Concerns
There seems to be an upsurge
in vehicle accidents in many regions in recent years. According to statistics
from the United Kingdom government, around 24,530 individuals died due to
accidents in 2021, and many people suffered from severe injuries caused by
traffic accidents. According to WHO, approximately 3,700 people are being
killed every day globally, and more than 1.35 million people are killed each
year in road crashes of vehicles. People seem to be getting more worried
about road safety as traffic accidents increase. As a matter of safety concern,
people seek for a car with advanced safety features such as front collision
warning, rear cross-traffic assist, automated braking system, and other
technologies that assure vehicle stability while driving in adverse weather.
Product Innovation in
Aquaplaning Solutions
Many
organizations have made investments to obtain diverse solutions to the
aquaplaning problem. Pirelli, a tire manufacturer, states that speed is
the principal cause of hydroplaning; at speeds of 60-70 kilometers per hour,
automobile tires can easily penetrate puddles, but hydroplaning comes into
effect when cars exceed this threshold, depending on a variety of factors
such as tire properties, inflation pressure, and so on. Nevertheless, precautions such as frequent
tire inflation pressure monitoring and assuring that all tires have a minimum
legal tread depth of 1.6mm can help minimize the chance of hydroplaning.
Continental, for example, deploys Electronic-Tire Information System (eTIS)
sensors to generate early warnings using signals from surround-view cameras
installed on side mirrors to overcome the aquaplaning conditions.
Potential Demand of
Aquaplaning Solution in Sports Cars
Maintaining traction on a wet
road is one of the most typical issues encountered while driving a sports car.
To overcome this, EasyRain i.S.p.A. and Picasso have formed a partnership in
which the D.A.I. virtual sensor is integrated into the PS-01 model of Picasso. EasyRain
specializes in advanced anti-aquaplaning safety systems development. The D.A.I
sensor developed by EasyRain is being used to improve automotive safety by
alerting drivers to crucial wet road conditions. Based on an in-depth analysis
of vehicle dynamics parameters, the D.A.I sensor enables the development of new
safety features. The integration of aquaplaning technology in sports cars is
projected to boost demand for aquaplaning solutions in the coming year.
Technological Advancement in
Tread Pattern and Material Enhancement
Tire tread patterns are the
grooves and ridges that offer grip and traction while allowing the wheel to
function normally. There are three types of tread patterns such as symmetric,
asymmetric, and directional. The most prevalent tread pattern on wheels is
symmetric. Asymmetric tread designs can repel water and grip on a wet surface
while optimizing contact areas on dry roads in dry and slick circumstances. The
lateral grooves in directional tires form a V across the tire, reducing the
possibility of hydroplaning. Rainy conditions are most often best handled by
tires with deeper grooves. Tread patterns are legally mandatory on public
roadway tires. The primary function of the tread pattern is to expel water,
which can increase the interface patch with the road and offer grip and better
traction in wet circumstances. When traveling at high speeds on wet roads, a sheet
of water can form between the tire and the road surface, reducing road contact
and steering responsiveness. In the aquaplaning situation, the driver's ability
to control the car is hindered when the tires fail to grasp the road adequately
during aquaplaning. They cannot brake, steer, or accelerate. New tires may
disseminate up to 113.56 liters of water at 80 kilometers per hour every
second. As the depth of the tire tread wears down over regular usage. It is
required to maintain tread depth above 1.6 mm to avoid skidding the vehicle.
Continuous advancements in rubber chemistry and tire design have assisted in
lowering tire rolling resistance, increasing mileage, and improving performance
in extreme weather situations in recent years. Attributed to the growing
interest in sustainability, a tire optimized for low rolling resistance using
renewable materials such as elastomers can be an alternative solution for
aquaplaning.
