The article presents the results of research on the coefficient of adhesion between a tire and the road surface under summer operating conditions. The study utilized a new generation of the SRT-4 measuring system, equipped with a dynamometric trailer. This system is also used during routine testing of road surface adhesion coefficients on national roads and acceptance testing of new roads. The article points to one of the possibilities for estimating the coefficient of adhesion between a tire and the road surface, which is useful in reconstructing pre-accident situations. The issues addressed in this paper may be of particular interest to automotive appraisers and forensic experts in the field of road traffic safety.The issue of assessing the coefficient of adhesion (friction force) from the perspective of both the road surface and the vehicle tire is gaining increasing importance in light of growing requirements for road traffic safety.
