Tire-Road Friction Coefficient Estimation Using a Multi-scale, Physics-based Model
The interaction between a tire and road surface is of critical importance as the motion of a car in both transient and steady-state maneuvers is predicated on the friction forces generated at the tire-road interface. A general method for predicting friction coefficients for an arbitrary asphalt …

The Application of Intelligent Tires and Model Base Estimation Algorithms in Tire-road Contact Characterization
… knowledge about the abrupt changes in pavement friction and poor performance of the vehicle stability, traction and ABS controllers on the low friction surfaces are the most important factors affecting car crashes. Due to its direct relation to vehicle stability, accurate estimation of tire-road …

Intelligent Tire Based Tire Force Characterization and its Application in Vehicle Stability and Performance
In any automotive system, the tires play a very crucial role in defining both the safety and performance of the vehicle. The interaction between the tire and the road surface determines the vehicle's ability to accelerate, decelerate and steer. Having information about this interaction in real-time …

Development of an Intelligent Tire Based Tire - Vehicle State Estimator for Application to Global Chassis Control
The contact between the tire and the road is the key enabler of vehicle acceleration, deceleration and steering. However, under the circumstances of sudden changes to the road conditions, the driver`s ability to maintain control of the vehicle maybe at risk. In many cases, this requires …

An Interdisciplinary and Probabilistic Treatment of Contemporary Highway Design Standards
… simulations, such as the coefficient of friction. This is a questionable practice when operating on the precipice of compromised safety. Thus, the second part of this work probabilistically examines the chance of handling loss given the amount of tire-road friction and driver …

Road Surface Measurement and Multi-Scale Modeling of Rubber Road Contact and Adhesion
A major challenge in tire, as well as in road engineering, is to understand the intricate mechanisms of friction. Pavement texture is a feature of the road surface that determines most tire-road interactions, and can be grouped into two classes: macro-texture, resulting mainly in the hysteretic …
