“…Various papers introduce analyses of the enhancements given by the availability of new sensors and estimators to support the improvement of chassis control strategies. With regard to this topic, Gobbi et al [13] review and present an envisaged improvement of the active safety of road vehicles arising from a real time measurement of forces and moments at the wheels. An original six-component measuring wheel is presented.…”

This paper deals with improving comfort and handling for a ground vehicle through the coordinated control of different active systems available in passenger cars, e.g., electronic stability control, active roll control and engine torque control. The authors first describe separate control systems, each with its logic, showing advantages and limits, then propose various possible integrations, aiming at exploiting the benefits of a coordinated approach. Finally, the proposed control logics are tested on a vehicle model: simulation results prove the effectiveness of the approach in improving vehicle response during typical handling maneuvers.

“…Hence, to prevent tire saturation, it is necessary to observe the tire slip. To this aim, a special tire equipped with sensors able to measure road friction would prove extremely useful; nowadays some devices are under development [13].…”

“…In many cases, this requires intervention from the chassis control systems onboard the vehicle. Although these systems perform well in a variety of situations, their performance can be improved if a real-time estimation of tire-road contact parameters is available [1,2]. However, at present, the commercially available tire monitoring systems are not equipped to sense and transmit high speed dynamic variables used for real-time active safety control systems.…”

“…Consequently, the direct measurement of tyre forces seems beneficial in contrast to body accelerations and rotational velocities. Possible technologies for the tyre force measurement could be: strain measurement of suspension components [ 7 ] or rim [ 8 ] measurement of tyre carcass displacement [ 9 , 10 ], acceleration [e.g. 11 ] or strain [ 11 ] tyre tread displacement [ 12 ] force sensing bearing [ 13 ] …”

“…Even though there have been many attempts to measure tyre forces to aid control systems, there are very few articles which study how to exploit them [ 8 , 14 , 15 ]. This paper proposes a Kalman Filter estimation for vehicle yaw rate ψ̇ and lateral velocity v y based on measured tyre forces.…”

Future active safety systems need more accurate information about the state of vehicles. This article proposes a method to evaluate the lateral state of a vehicle based on measured tyre forces. The tyre forces of two tyres are estimated from optically measured tyre carcass deflections and transmitted wirelessly to the vehicle body. The two remaining tyres are so-called virtual tyre sensors, the forces of which are calculated from the real tyre sensor estimates. The Kalman filter estimator for lateral vehicle state based on measured tyre forces is presented, together with a simple method to define adaptive measurement error covariance depending on the driving condition of the vehicle. The estimated yaw rate and lateral velocity are compared with the validation sensor measurements.
