Observers for tire/road contact friction prediction based on one-wheel model.

Abstract

Observers for tire/road friction and road conditions are relevant to optimization of ABS, TCS, etc. In the reference [1], Canudas de Wit et al designed these observers with LuGre model. In this paper, following the procedure of Canudas de Wit et al, we design observers and examined their behaviors under various conditions by means of numerical simulations, which are satisfactory.
