A study was conducted to investigate drivers reactions to tread separation scenarios using the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS). The objectives were to evaluate the effects of vehicle understeer gradient, prior knowledge of an impending tire failure, instructions on how to respond to a tire failure, driver age, and failed tire location on drivers responses and the likelihood of control loss following simulated tread separation on one of the rear tires of a simulated SUV traveling at high speed.
