Aquaplaning

Of English aquaplaning -- to plane on water --, the aquaplaning or aquaplaning is a phénomème which occurs when the Roue S of a Véhicule lose their adherence compared to the ground while slipping perfectly on an aqueous surface (puddle pools, wet roadway…). Also, aquaplaning is made profitable in certain sports. For example, at the time of the practice of the Skimboard. The board must slip on a thin layer of water over sand.

Factors

The independent factors which intervene are:
  • quantity of water which is on the road,
  • the speed of the Véhicule,
  • the aptitude of the Pneu to evacuate water by: an adapted drawing, a dispatcher adapted to the vehicle,
  • the effectiveness of the Amortisseur S.
  • aquaplaning often occurs when the rainwater accumulates in the ruts. To keep the control of the vehicle one should not slow down abruptly, but raise the foot of the accelerator.
  • aquaplaning does not affect only the vehicles.
