 Anti-aquaplaning technology for cars is born: what it is and how it works

Easyrain, Bosch, and Italdesign have developed the innovative anti aquaplaning system Ais (Aquaplaning Intelligent Solution): a new technology that applied to the car counteracts the skidding of the moving vehicle on a layer of water extended on a road, thus avoiding the dangerous buoyancy. The device has already been successfully tested on a production car during dynamic track tests and has now entered the refinement phase.

Soon we will be able to say goodbye to the dangerous aquaplaning effect that causes thousands of road accidents every year. Easyrain, Bosch and Italdesign have in fact developed the innovative anti aquaplaning system Ais ( Aquaplaning Intelligent Solution ), that is to say a new technology that applied to the car counteracts the sliding of the moving vehicle on a layer of water extended on a road thus avoiding the dangerous buoyancy. The system, developed jointly by the three companies after the concept phase has already been successfully tested on a production car (an Audi a6) during dynamic tests on the track and has now entered the refinement phase and will therefore be available on the market shortly.

What is the Aquaplaning Intelligent Solution and how does it work

The innovative Easyrain Ais system, the first able to effectively counteract aquaplaning, uses a controlled water jet injected in front of the front wheels to break the layer of water present on the asphalt and consequently guarantee the adherence of the tire thus avoiding the dangerous buoyancy that can lead to the driver losing control of the vehicle.

In detail, the Ais makes use of a hydraulic system consisting of a pump and two rotating injectors and starts working on the impulse of the Easyrain Dai ( Digital Aquaplaning Information ) proprietary activation software which, by means of a virtual sensor, instantly recognizes the onset of aquaplaning phenomenon. The application of the device is further simplified by the fact that it requires neither sensors nor additional tanks in addition to those already present on the vehicle.
