Hybrid Friction Estimation based on Intelligent Tires and Vehicle Dynamics

Doctor of Philosophy / The control systems installed in modern vehicles lack crucial information regarding the interaction between the tires and the road surface. This knowledge gap significantly impacts the safety and control of the vehicle. Thus, to address this issue, this research introduces a novel fusion approach to estimate friction at the tire-road contact interface.

This hybrid fusion friction estimation algorithm employs techniques like signal processing and machine learning, backed up by information from various vehicle and tire dynamics models, to develop algorithms that estimate the level of friction between the tire and the road. This fusion approach enables more precise estimations of the friction coefficient in both normal driving situations and scenarios involving sudden changes in speed or road conditions. Therefore, this research aids in enhancing vehicle safety and control by providing improved information about such tire-road interactions.
