Real-Time Traction Monitor

Practice winter driving year-round! Total Traction shows how much tire grip you have left in real-time. Train safe driving habits before you need them.
Know Your Limits. Drive Safer.
Total Traction is the first iPhone app that shows you exactly how much tire grip you have available - not just raw G-forces that mean nothing without context.
THE PROBLEM WITH G-FORCE APPS
0.7g might be totally safe on dry pavement but dangerous on wet roads. Raw numbers don't tell you if you're approaching your limits.
THE TOTAL TRACTION DIFFERENCE
See your actual traction usage as a percentage: "25% available" means the same thing whether you're on dry pavement, wet roads, or ice. It's like a fuel gauge for your tires' grip.
YEAR-ROUND WINTER TRAINING
Here's the game-changer: Set the app to "Snow" mode while driving on dry roads. Try to keep the audio alerts low and slow. This builds the ultra-smooth driving habits you'll need when roads actually are slippery - like a flight simulator for winter driving.
Practice when it's safe. Be ready when it counts.
KEY FEATURES
• Real-Time Traction Display
Shows percentage of available grip (0-100%) updating 60 times per second
• Training Mode
Practice winter driving skills on dry roads year-round
• Smart Physics
Accounts for banking, hills, and dips - available traction changes dynamically based on real vehicle dynamics, not just raw accelerometer data
• Audio Alerts
Variometer-style feedback: slow beeps when you're getting close, rapid high-pitched beeping when you're at the limit (skidding!)
• Four Road Conditions
Dry (85% max) / Wet (65% max) / Snow (35% max) / Ice (15% max)
• Dual Display Modes
Vector ring shows direction and magnitude, or traditional bar chart
• Customizable Alerts
Set threshold from 5-40% remaining traction
• Works Anywhere
No GPS required - pure physics using your iPhone's accelerometer
• Always On Display
Screen stays awake during monitoring so you can always see your status
WHO IT'S FOR
Parents teaching teen drivers
Winter commuters preparing for bad weather
Drivers wanting to improve smoothness
Track day enthusiasts
Anyone curious about vehicle dynamics
THE STATS
Over 1,800 people die each year in crashes on snowy/icy roads. 24% of weather-related crashes happen on icy pavement. Your car takes 10x longer to stop on snow.
Don't wait for the first snowfall to learn these skills.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Unlike apps that just show G-forces:
Calculates actual percentage of available grip
Adjusts for road conditions
Accounts for dynamic normal force (banking/hills)
Focuses on training, not just measurement
No external hardware needed
Works completely offline
PRICING
One-time purchase. No subscription. No in-app purchases. All features included.
REQUIREMENTS
• iPhone with iOS 18.0 or later
• Secure phone mount
• That's it - no GPS, no internet, no external sensors
SAFETY DISCLAIMER
For reference and training only. Always drive safely and within speed limits. The app cannot account for all road conditions, tire quality, or vehicle-specific factors. Use as an awareness and training tool.
