Independent Tire Engineering and Tire Modelling Consultancy

Specialist tire engineering for objective decision making.

Remove the guess work from tire engineering. Replace it with data driven objective analysis.

Services

Targeted technical support across the tire-development process.

Support can be provided for a focused analysis, an urgent technical problem, an ongoing development program or additional specialist engineering capacity.

01

Tire Modelling

Development, parameterization, validation and application of tire models for vehicle simulation and engineering analysis.

02

Simulation & Analysis

Vehicle and tire performance studies covering handling, ride, durability, efficiency and competing attribute requirements.

03

Test Data Interpretation

Structured analysis of objective test data, model correlation, measurement quality and physical tire behavior.

04

Tire Development Support

Requirements, target setting, supplier discussions, design reviews, trade-off studies and technical decision support.

05

Tools & Automation

MATLAB and Python engineering tools that reduce repetitive analysis, standardize methods and improve reporting speed.

06

Independent Technical Review

Clear, impartial assessment of models, test methods, supplier claims, development risks and proposed technical solutions.

Technical Expertise

Bridging tire data, simulation and vehicle-level performance.

Traction Engineering Services helps teams convert complex data into defensible engineering conclusions and practical development actions.

Approach

Clear scope. Rigorous analysis. Useful answers.

1. Define the decision Clarify the engineering question, available evidence, constraints and required outcome.
2. Assess the data Review test quality, assumptions, models, methods and gaps before drawing conclusions.
3. Perform the analysis Apply appropriate modelling, simulation, statistical and engineering methods.
4. Deliver the answer Provide clear findings, limitations, recommended actions and supporting technical evidence.
