From page 88...
... 88 The tool can be run without the need of commercial software. It uses a simplified water accumulation model and an interpolation method to estimate the PM for one of the three vehicles modeled with new or worn tires under a specific maneuver (defined by the curvature speed and braking)
From page 89...
... 89  Finally, the proposed risk analysis approach was not implemented as part of the project because it was not possible to get a hydroplaning crash data set representative of the entire country. Thus, a simplified approach based on defining threshold PM values was proposed.
From page 90...
... 90 The HP is defined as a function of the PM, which is a measure of any additional performance capability that is available beyond the performance required by the current operating condition. Once the PM is estimated for a given vehicle in a given operating condition, the potential for hydroplaning can be established.
