FACILITY FOR TIRE/ROAD NOISE AND ROLLING RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT FOR CAR AND TRUCK TIRES „DRUM 2.0”
LOCATION: Building No 16 „Forge”, laboratory of DMVMT, (patrons: Associate Professor Grzegorz Ronowski, Professor Jerzy A. Ejsmont, Associate Professor Piotr Mioduszewski, Associate Professor Stanisław Taryma, PhD Eng. Ryszard Woźniak, PhD Eng. Wojciech Owczarzak, MSc Eng. Sławomir Sommer).
DESCRIPTION: Testing device for measuring the rolling resistance and noise of passenger car and truck tires with research capabilities unique in the world. Unlike typical running machines, "DRUM 2.0" enables precise measurement of rolling resistance in a wide temperature range (-15 C to + 30 C) because it is placed in a thermostatic chamber equipped with high-power cooling and heating devices. In addition, unique replicas of road surfaces, made on the basis of our own patent, are mounted on the drum. The device is used for research carried out as part of international and national projects as well as in research for industry and the military.
List of projects in which the device has been and is used: 5PRUE – HARMONOISE, 5PRUE – SILVIA, 6PRUE – IMAGINE, 7PRUE – PERSUADE, Norway Grants – LEO, PolNor – ELANORE, NCBiR – ROLRES, NCBiR – ROSOMAK, NCBiR - SEPOR.

FACILITY FOR TIRE/ROAD NOISE AND ROLLING RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT FOR CAR „DRUM 1.7”
LOCATION: The main building of the former Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, laboratory of DMVMT, (patrons: Associate Professor Grzegorz Ronowski, Professor Jerzy A. Ejsmont, Associate Professor Piotr Mioduszewski, Associate Professor Stanisław Taryma, PhD Eng. Ryszard Woźniak, PhD Eng. Wojciech Owczarzak, MSc Eng. Sławomir Sommer).
DESCRIPTION: Test device for measuring the rolling resistance and noise of passenger car tires. Two test surfaces - PERS and APS4 - are mounted on the drum. It is planned to replace these surfaces due to their wear and tear. The device is used for research carried out as part of international and national projects of a lower rank due to worse parameters than DRUM 2.0.
List of projects in which the device has been and is used: 5PRUE – SILVIA, 7PRUE – PERSUADE, Norway Grants – LEO, PolNor – ELANORE, NCBiR - SEPOR.
List of principals for whom research was/are being conducted: scientific institutes: VTI, Sweden; SINTEF, Norway.
MOBILE SET FOR CAR TIRES AND ROAD SURFACES NOISE MEASUREMENTS „TIRESONIC MK.4”
