Digital Twin for Tire Abrasion – Fraunhofer ITWM Develops Virtual Models for More Sustainable Mobility

Kaiserslautern. Digital Twin for Tire Abrasion – Fraunhofer ITWM Develops Virtual Models for More Sustainable Mobility

Tire abrasion is one of the largest sources of microplastics in Europe, polluting the air, soil, and water. With the SUMERA project, the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM, with support from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, is developing a digital model that comprehensively simulates tire abrasion for the first time and makes emissions predictable.
