An anti-aquaplaning system for a motor vehicle includes: a storage unit for operating liquids, a mixing unit, a supply unit, and a dispensing unit. The dispensing unit includes at least a first injector and a second injector configured for the injection of liquid to the ground at the front of, respectively, a right tread and a left tread of a right wheel and a left wheel of a motor vehicle front axle. The anti-aquaplaning system operates with an operating mixture defined by operating fluids stored in a main tank and in at least one auxiliary tank.

A system and method herein relate to vehicle control by adjusting a torque distribution of the vehicle. The system includes a first motor configured to provide a torque to a first wheel, and a delivery system configured to controllably apply a traction control compound to a route on which the first wheel is configured to travel. The system also includes a controller circuit having one or more processors. The controller circuit is configured to control the delivery system to apply the traction control compound to the route based on a monitored temperature of the first motor.

A traction media is provided that includes a plurality of axes having a distal origin point and proximal point termination surrounded by one or more faces thus forming a body capable of being delivered by hand or traction enhancing system to a lower surface such as the ground to provide an increased coefficient of friction between an upper surface such as a shoe or tire and the lower surface and a relative air movement duct is provided that includes a controlled path of flow through about a 90 degree angle having an intake, discharge and baffle capable of delivering traction media from a hopper/valve assembly by an air flow to a lower surface such as the ground to provide a controlled path of traction media between an upper surface such as a tire and a lower surface such as the ground.

A vehicle is disclosed for providing increased friction between the wheels of a vehicle and the ground. An example vehicle includes an anti-lock brake system, inertial sensor, and wheels. The vehicle also includes a computing system configured to deploy aggregate to an area proximate the wheels, responsive to determining that a vehicle traction value is below a first threshold. The computing system is also configured to, after deploying the aggregate, deploy a friction mat to an area proximate the wheels, responsive to determining that the vehicle traction value remains below a second threshold.

A system for preventing aquaplaning in a vehicle, said system comprising: a tank suitable for containing a fluid; sensor means configured to reveal the conditions of the vehicle and/or the environment in which the vehicle is found, and in particular, the conditions of a street surface; injector means configured to generate a jet of fluid on said street surface, said injector means being associated with at least one wheel of the vehicle; a control unit associated with sensor means and configured for controlling said injector means according to the conditions revealed by said sensor means. A unique feature of the system of the present invention consists in the fact that said injector means comprise at least one fan-type nozzle and equipped with a slit-shaped outlet opening suitable for creating a flat jet of fluid.

An anti-aquaplaning system for a motor-vehicle, includes control unit configured to assist a driver to avoid aquaplaning. The control unit is programmed for: receiving real time signals detected by automated driving assistance devices and a data transmission and receiving unit, integrating the received signals to generate an output signal indicative of a risk of aquaplaning, if said output signal exceeds a predetermined value of a minimum risk condition, generating a warning for the driver to inform him preventively of the risk of encountering a water layer which could lead to a lifting and/or slipping condition of the wheels on the wet road surface, in such a way that said control unit alerts the driver prior to contact of the wheels with the water layer on the road surface in such a quantity as to no longer ensure an adequate grip between the wheels and the road surface.

Disclosed herein is an anti-aquaplaning system for a motor vehicle, that includes: a storage unit for operating liquids, a supply unit, and a dispensing unit. The dispensing unit includes at least a first and a second injector configured for injecting liquid towards the ground at a position in front of, respectively, a right tread and a left tread of a right wheel and a left wheel of an axle of the motor vehicle, and at least one fluid accumulator configured for storing liquid under pressure and being in fluid communication with said first injector and second injector.

Methods and systems for operating a vehicle are provided. In one example, a method for operating a vehicle may include flowing compressed gas selectively through distinct orifice sizes depending on an operating condition of the vehicle. In another example, the vehicle may be a rail vehicle. In one example, the compressed gas may include compressed ambient air, and where the compressed gas is selectively delivered toward an upstream of a vehicle wheel riding on a rail via a nozzle. In another example, the compressed gas may be selectively delivered through a first orifice and not a second orifice to the nozzle during a first condition, and delivered through the second orifice and not the first orifice during a second condition different from the first condition.
