A New Detection Method for a Slippery Wheel by an Induction Magnetometer

Abstract

One of the essential factors in ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) that needs to be considered is to improve ambient safe driving for vehicles on a slippery road. This letter proposes a new detection technique for slipping vehicle’s wheels based on measuring the magnetic patterns of a magnetized rotated wheel by on-board vehicle induction magnetometer. The data of the magnetic patterns of a slipping wheel that has been collected by both observation method and computer-based simulation method has been compared and evaluated. The results demonstrate that our new sensor capable to provide a practical device for future ITS
