In this paper, the measurements of individual wheel speeds and the absolute position from a global positioning system are used for high-precision estimation of vehicle tire radii. The radii deviation from its nominal value is modeled as a Gaussian random variable and included as noise components in a simple vehicle motion model. The novelty lies in a Bayesian approach to estimate online both the state vector and the parameters representing the process noise statistics using a marginalized particle filter (MPF). Field tests show that the absolute radius can be estimated with submillimeter accuracy. The approach is tested in accordance with regulation 64 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe on a large data set (22 tests, using two vehicles and 12 different tire sets), where tire deflations are successfully detected, with high robustness, i.e., no false alarms. The proposed MPF approach outperforms common Kalman-filter-based methods used for joint state and parameter estimation when compared with respect to accuracy and robustness.

A Bayesian approach to jointly estimate tire radii and vehicle trajectory Özkan, Emre; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2011-10-05) High-precision estimation of vehicle tire radii is considered, based on measurements on individual wheel speeds and absolute position from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The wheel speed measurements are subject to noise with time-varying covariance that depends mainly on the road surface. The novelty lies in a Bayesian approach to estimate online the time-varying radii and noise parameters using a marginalized particle filter, where no model approximations are needed such as in previously prop...
Prediction of automobile tire cornering force characteristics by finite element modeling and analysis Tönük, Ergin; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2001-05-01) In this study, a detailed finite element model of a radial automobile tire is constructed for the prediction of cornering force characteristics during the design stage. The nonlinear stress-strain relationship of rubber as well as a linear elastic approximation, reinforcement, large displacements, and frictional ground contact are modeled. Validity of various simplifications is checked. The cornering force characteristics obtained by the finite element tire model are verified on the experimental setup const...
Autopilot Design for Vehicle Cornering Through Icy Roads Ahiska, Kenan; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2018-03-01) In this paper, vehicle cornering along roads with low friction coefficient is studied, and an autopilot design is proposed to satisfy desired handling performance. A novel hierarchical optimization approach is presented to generate offline solutions for vehicle cornering problem along roads with different friction coefficients and radii of curvature. A vehicle status definition is introduced as a function of vehicle states that contains data to indicate handling performance. At each control instant, vehicle...
Finite element analysis of cornering characteristics of rotating tires Erşahin, Mehmet Akif; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) A finite element model is developed to obtain the cornering force characteristics for rotating pneumatic tires which combines accuracy together with substantially reduced computational effort. For cord reinforced rubber sections such as the body plies and breaker belts, continuum elements with orthotropic material properties are used to improve solution times. Drastic reductions in computational effort are then obtained by replacing the continuum elements with truss elements which do not require orientation...
Road Target Tracking with an Approximative Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filter Skoglar, Per; Orguner, Umut; Tornqvist, David; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2009-07-09) Using prior information about the road network will improve the estimation performance for a road constrained target significantly. Several estimation methods have been proposed to handle the multi-modality that arise in a road target tracking application. One popular filter suitable for this kind of non-linear problems is the Particle Filter, but a major drawback is that the Particle filter requires a large amount of particles as the state dimension increases to maintain a good approximation of the filteri...
