Slipping and falling are common phenomena in both workplaces and our daily activities. The risks associated with slipping and falling are related to the materials of footwear/floor, contamination condition, and geometric design of the sole. Shoe soles of various tread design are very common.

Measuring tread depth with light-spot analysis
2017 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA), 2017A suitable and safe tire strongly affects safety while a car is driven. However, when the tire is worn and the tread has become shallow, it can cause the driving car to slide easily and reduces safety. Accordingly, many governments, including Taiwan, stipulated that the depth of the tread must be greater than 1.6 mm; obviously, developing a convenient ...

Measurement of Tire Tread Depth with Image Triangulation
2016 International Symposium on Computer, Consumer and Control (IS3C), 2016Tires bear the grip and friction force between a vehicle and the ground. Worn tires will result in slippage, a longer braking distance, and even flat tires, which could eventually result in a driving accident. Therefore, governments, including Taiwan, have formulated standards stipulating the appropriate tire pressure and depth of tire treads. The tire

Analysis of Impact of Tire Tread Groove Depth on Hydroplaning Risk Level
Advanced Materials Research, 2012Hydroplaning ranks a maior inducement of wet-weather road accidents. By way of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) approach, this paper frames a finite-element meta-models for rib tires ranging in groove depth, aiming to figure out the wheel water pressures on tires under different traveling conditions, and to find out water velocities of the different ...

Commentary: Legal Minimum Tread Depth for Passenger Car Tires in the U.S.A.—A Survey
Traffic Injury Prevention, 2006Available tire traction is a significant highway safety issue, particularly on wet roads. Tire-roadway friction on dry, clean roads is essentially independent of tread depth, and depends primarily on roadway surface texture. However, tire-wet-roadway friction, both for longitudinal braking and lateral cornering forces, depends on several variables ...

A Laser-Based Vision System for Tire Tread Depth Inspection
2016 International Symposium on Computer, Consumer and Control (IS3C), 2016In this study, we propose a low cost tire tread depth detector, with CMOS camera and line laser. In this device, it provides a routine tire condition monitoring, and could potentially predict when the tires might need to be replaced, giving the consumer advanced notice. In the result, we measure 32 tires with linear model calibration, only 0.5 mm error

A biomechanical evaluation of staircase riser heights and tread depths during stair-climbing
Clinical Biomechanics, 1987Several different staircase riser heights and tread depths were investigated in order to determine riser height and tread depth that minimized moments acting at the ankle, knee, and hipjoints while walking upstairs. The results indicated that joint moments were minimized when the riser height was 102 mm. For the tread depth, least moments were obtained

Effect of tyre tread depth on accident involvement during summer in Finland
, 2011 The aim of the paper is to determine whether various tyre tread depths in passenger cars and vans were associated with different fatal accident involvement rates or different weather distribution of fatal accidents. Data used in this study includes fatal accidents in 2000–2007 reported by Finnish road accident investigation teams, and tyre check data ...

The study was aimed at identifying the problems of using winter tyres according to the vehicle braking performance. Due to the common problem of using second-hand winter tyres during the summer season, the tyre tread depth and temperature were chosen as the main indicators of the study.
