“…The parameters and were obtained via fitting equation 4by using the Matlab function "lsqnonlin" on an extensive amount of experimental data, with the assumption = 1. For the purposes of fitting, the values of lateral and vertical forces for front and rear axles were obtained through the TRICK tool [31,32]. Fig.…”

Vehicle sideslip angle is a key state for lateral vehicle dynamics, but measuring it is expensive and unpractical. Still, knowledge of this state would be really valuable for vehicle safety systems aimed at enhancing vehicle safety, to help to reduce worldwide fatal car accidents. This has motivated the research community to investigate techniques to estimate vehicle sideslip angle, which is still a challenging problem. One of the major issues is the need for accurate tyre model parameters, which are difficult to characterise and subject to change during vehicle operation. This paper proposes a new method for estimating vehicle sideslip angle using an Extended Kalman Filter. The main novelties are: i) the tyre behaviour is described using a Rational tyre model whose parameters are estimated and updated online to account for their variation due to e.g. tyre wear and environmental conditions affecting the tyre behaviour; ii) the proposed technique is compared with two other methods available in the literature by means of experimental tests on a heavy-duty vehicle. Results show that: i) the proposed method effectively estimates vehicle sideslip angle with an error limited to 0.5 deg in standard driving conditions, and less than 1 deg for a high-speed run; ii) the tyre parameters are successfully updated online, contributing to outclassing estimation methods based on tyre models that are either excessively simple or with non-varying parameters.

“…For example, a great deal of research was devoted by both Besselink and Pacejka [3,4] to account for the effect of the inflation pressure and for transients. More recently, Farroni [5][6][7][8] integrated the MF description with a full-physical thermal model in order to include the contribution of the tyre temperature. As a result, the MF coefficients have been redefined as temperature-dependent functions.…”

“…All the above-mentioned approaches are discussed by Besdo et al (2010). Farroni (2016) describes the interaction between tyre and road and also elaborates on the effect of factors such as temperature field. Every time numerical models applications are discussed, their parameters should be identified through the comparison to the experiments on real object.…”

Influence of Exploitation Conditions on Anti-Skid Properties of Tyres

Tyre-to-road adhesion plays an important role when taking into account transmission of forces between tyres and road surface. It consequently influences vehicle safety. Moreover, it plays a significant role for modelling vehicle motion, which is often applied in the development of automotive active safety systems and in traffic accidents reconstruction. Furthermore, tyre-to-road adhesion properties are dependent on many factors. One of the factors is the type of tyre – summer or winter. This is the reason why it is justified to study the anti-slip properties of summer and winter tyres. This paper shows the method of measuring tyre-to-road adhesion coefficient. It is based on a skid resistance tester SRT-4 that consists of a special dynamometer trailer, towing vehicle and test-measuring equipment. It was designed to be applied in civil/road engineering and further developed. As a result, the SRT-4 system automatically obtains adhesion characteristics, such as the graph of tyre-to-road adhesion coefficient as a function of wheel slip ratio and velocity characteristics of peak adhesion coefficient. Results of the study present the above mentioned characteristics for different types of tyres (summer, winter) in different exploitation conditions. Differences between presented characteristics caused by tyre type and conditions of exploitation are shown. For example, for winter tyres we noticed that the peak value of adhesion coefficient was attained for higher values of slip ratio as compared with summer tyres.
