Equipment to facilitate the acquisition of the skill of driving on snowy-icy roads
The invention
  • The problem to be solved:
    Several drivers have to acquire the special skill of how to drive on snowy and icy roads which can lead to serious accidents and damage.
  • Definition:
    The invention is equipment, which can be assembled on a car any time and in a very short time. A car with this equipment behaves on dry asphalt roads as a normal car on a snowy and icy road. In a parking place, on a marked route, starting, stopping, reversing, turning and other manoeuvres typical in winter can be practised with the equipment simulating winter road conditions.
  • Presentation:
    There are winter courses organised for drivers to acquire the skill of driving on snowy-icy roads but they depend on weather, time and place and the expenses are high. The aim of the invention is to find a solution which facilitates that every driver can acquire the skill of driving on snowy-icy roads independently of weather, time and place and so they can be prepared for winter driving.
    The invention is a process during which the rear wheels are disassembled and the equipment is assembled into the bore-hole of the hub and then the hand brake is pulled. The fixing points of the equipment are the same as the fixing points of the hub. On each side of the equipment a wheel is adjusted. Thus a car with this equipment behaves on dry asphalt road as a normal car on a snowy and icy road.

  • Application:
    Car scools, car drivers.
  • Advantages:
    The reasonable price of the equipment, the possibility to practise driving in winter conditions in the owner's car, the quick fixing of the equipment (c 10 minutes), usability on front/rear/all-wheel drive cars.
  • Stage of development:
    Prototype is ready. The manufacturing of the equipment is in progress.
  • Documentation available: yes
