Dynamic Hydroplaning

Dynamic hydroplaning refers to a state of a vehicle when it travels on a surface with a layer of water deeper than the tire tread depth. This condition poses a risk especially during landing. In this situation, if the brakes are applied, the brake can get locked up and the tire may float on the layer of water, resembling a skier on water. The vehicle may then lose directional control and braking ability, presenting a hazardous situation, particularly in fast-moving vehicles.

To minimize the effects of dynamic hydroplaning, an efficient anti-skid system is essential. The system can reduce the risk of accidents, and ensure greater control, exploration, and improved brake functionality. With an anti-skid system in place, a driver can be confident even on wet surfaces, knowing that the vehicle will remain stable and secure.
