Popis: Huge improvements and advances in sensor technology, together with the increasing demand for safety and handling performances, pull research towards new control strategies. Robustness and promptness of sensors used for active control are key requisites. The main idea behind the research presented in this paper is to instrument the tire with appropriate sensors in order to estimate several contact parameters ranging from the kinematic conditions of the tire (the longitudinal slippage and the side slip angle [Fukada, Y., 1999, Slip-angle estimation for vehicle stability control. Vehicle System Dynamics, 32(4–5), 375–388.]) to its dynamic properties (the contact area shape and dimensions as well as the longitudinal, lateral and vertical loads [Cole, D.J. and Cebon, D., 1989, A capacitative strip sensor for measuring dynamic type forces. Proc. of the Second International Conference on Road Traffic Monitoring, London, 38–42; Cole, D.J. and Cebon, D., 1992, Performance and application of a capacitative strip ty...
