Abstract:

Safety in road traffic is crucial and depends on many factors related to the road conditions, the condition of vehicles, etc.  Safe road traffic, especially during rain and snow, is a task that requires optimum road conditions, both in terms of the road surface and the motor vehicles that travel on it. In the context of cars, it is important that during heavy driving conditions, such as in rain and snow, vehicles do not create spray in their wake or churn out large lumps of slush which has become lodged in a car’s - or in a truck’s - wheel arches. The article presents the concept of the research process for designing, developing and implementing the technology for the mass production of an innovative "anti-clogging" assembly for mounting in the wheel arches of trucks, which will facilitate the automatic and continuous removal of excess rainwater and dirt, in particular slush, during driving and stopping.
