Proposal of the road surface friction coefficient real-time estimation method

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2018
For Autonomous Driving (AD) system or vehicle behavior control, it is important to know the friction coefficient of the road surface accurately. It is because the lateral and the longitudinal force characteristics of the tire depend on the road surface ...

Handling Enhancement of Autonomous Emergency Steering for Reduced Road Friction Using Steering and Differential Braking

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Steering has more potential than braking to prevent rear-end collisions at higher relative velocities. A path tracking controller based on multi-input multi-output (MIMO) model predictive control (MPC) is proposed to enhance the handling performance of ...

Comparison of pavement surface roughness characteristics of different wearing courses evaluated using 3D scanning and pendulum [PDF]

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2020
Road pavement roughness, in terms of skid resistance, can be described from a geometrical point of view as a texture or from a physical point of view as friction between a tire and a road surface.
