Real-time Simulation of Microwave-photonic System for Estimating the Tangential Deformation of Tire

Abstract

This article presents results of real-time simulating the operation of a microwave-photon measuring system for estimating a tangential component of deformation of a vehicle tire using addressed fiber Bragg structures. The relevance of this study is due to the development of active safety equipment for the vehicles and fiber-optic measuring instruments. Since grip properties of the tire can quickly change under the influence of external conditions, such as weather and the condition of the roadway, and others, this fact forces engineers to create measuring devices capable of taking measurements with a high sampling rate, which can be achieved using the technology of polling addressed fiber Bragg structures.
