On-board water spray system for aircraft
09566597 · 2017-02-14 · ·

A system for simulating wet runway conditions by using a liquid container that is placed inside an aircraft. The liquid container is connected to a nozzle that sprays water in front of the wheels of the aircraft. A valve is used to control the flow of water from the nozzle. Systems, such as the braking system of the aircraft, can then be tested in wet runway conditions simulated by the system. The amount of water sprayed from the nozzle can also be electronically controlled in relation to the speed of the aircraft, such that the nozzle sprays a nearly uniform layer of liquid in front of the wheels. The system can also be modified to include two tanks to manipulate the center of gravity of the aircraft.

Road safety assessment method and apparatus, electronic device and readable medium

Provided are a road safety assessment method and apparatus, and an electronic device and a readable medium. The method comprises: acquiring real-time water level data in a culvert and real-time roadbed state data of a road within a preset distance range from the culvert (S201); on the basis of the roadbed state data, determining anti-pressure capability data of the road (S202); and on the basis of the water level data and the anti-pressure capability data, assessing the safety of the road to obtain a road safety assessment result (S203). The accuracy of road safety assessment is improved, and unattended monitoring without interruption can be realized.

Method and system for controlling a vehicle in presence of hydroplaning

Control method and system (99) of a vehicle (1) moving on a road surface, wherein the system comprises a detection module (2) for detecting in real time a respective hydroplaning intensity (HI) for each tyre (3) of the vehicle (1), an actuation device (9) connected to each wheel (7) of the vehicle (1) and a command and control unit (8) programmed and configured for performing the control method comprising: comparing each respective hydroplaning intensity (HI) with a first threshold; upon the occurrence of a starting condition such that the respective hydroplaning intensity (HI) of at least one tyre (3) reaches the first threshold, then: calculating in real time a reference value (YRr) of a parameter representative of a lateral motion of the vehicle (1) as a function of a longitudinal speed (Vxc) and of a steering angle (STA) of the vehicle; calculating in real time a corrective moment (Mz) as a function of the reference value (YRr) and of a current value (YRc) of the parameter detected in real time; applying in real time to each wheel (7) a respective torque (Tr) calculated in real time as a function of the corrective moment (Mz) and of the hydroplaning intensity (HI) of the respective tyre (3).
