Tire Traction Attachment Device
A tire traction attachment device for a plurality of support beams being inserted into a tire and adjustable arms providing traction includes a base. The base has a peripheral surface and a back surface. A plurality of spike holders is positioned in a circular pattern relative to the base. Each spike of a plurality of spikes is inserted into a respective one of each of the spike holders. Each of the spikes has telescopic functions for adjusting the position relative to each of the spike holders. A plurality of support beams has a distal end and a proximal end relative to the base. The proximal end of each of the support beams is coupled to the back surface of the base and the distal end of each of the support beams is coupled to a mounting base.
Smart Wheel Traction System (SWTS)
This invention is an improvement to the universal brake system (UBS) with adjustable wheel traction system (WTS). It adds a smart wheel that operate as a standalone adjustable wheel traction system with no connections to a vehicle's ABS brake system. The smartphone integrate with the wheel traction system to provide the following features: 360-degree collision avoidance, 360-degree parking guidance, 360-degree vehicle security and emergency calling. The smart wheel can also integrate with the UBS to obtain wheel lock features. The smart wheel utilizes four radially spaced spikes separated by 90 degrees that operate individually via linear actuators. Each smart wheel has a wireless remote terminal unit embedded in each wheel that measures the angular velocity of each wheel with one wheel serving as a master remote terminal unit that monitors the speed of each wheel to determine when slip or skidding occurs and when to extends wheel spikes.

Universal multi-terrain brake system (UBS) with adjustable wheel traction (AWT)
This invention relates to a universal brake system (UBS) that combines features from an adjustable wheel traction system (WTS) and an improved anti-lock brake (ABS) system. The WTS provides a plurality of extendable and retractable spikes contained in a wheel assembly or wheel adapter to increase traction (friction) between a vehicle's wheel and its supporting surface. To further improve wheel traction each wheel spike has different types of changeable heads for different types of terrain and road surfaces. When operating in dry road mode, the UBS operates as an anti-lock braking system except the spikes can operate during emergency braking to provide additional traction between the tire and wheel support surface. When operating in slippery road mode, the UBS activates the WTS for increase traction control and utilize an improved computer controlled anti-lock braking system to alternate between wheel lock and anti-lock brake with skid control to provide the ultimate solution to decreasing a vehicle's stopping distance and controlling a vehicle's skid on slippery and dry road surfaces.
