Abstract
The overall approach to friction estimation in the
FRICTI@N project is described. Road friction is an
important parameter in vehicle control, limiting the
applied steering, braking and acceleration of a vehicle.
On-line and in-vehicle friction estimation is also a
difficult task to be carried out in all driving
situations and weather conditions. The paper describes
the key friction terms, and previous work. Then the
friction estimation architecture is explained, including
data fusion algorithms for vehicle, environmental, and
tyre based measurements, plus decision fusion. Also the
inputs and outputs of the friction estimation
system are listed, and demonstrator vehicles described.
Finally the potential applications benefiting from more
accurate friction information are discussed, and
considerations for future research are presented..
