Longitudinal and lateral forces acting on tyres are known to be closely related to tractive ability, braking characteristics, handling stability and manoeuvrability of ground vehicles. However, it is not feasible in the operating vehicles to measure the tyre forces directly because of the high cost of sensors, the limitations in sensor technology, interference with tyre rotation and the harsh environment. Another approach is the indirect monitoring technique that can estimate the tyre forces based on remote sensor outputs and vehicle dynamics models. In this paper, in order to develop tyre force-monitoring systems, a monitoring model is proposed utilizing not only the yawing motion but also the roll motion. Based on the monitoring model, a monitoring system is designed to estimate the lateral tyre force acting on each tyre. The monitoring system is constructed on the basis of a new scaled Kalman filter with model error compensator (SKFMEC) technique that is developed in this study to improve the robustness performance of Kalman filter methods. The SKFMEC technique adopts both the well-conditioned observer and the model error compensator concepts. Tyre force estimation performance of the monitoring system is evaluated in the MATLAB simulations where true tyre force data are generated from a 14-degree-of-freedom vehicle model with the combined-slip ‘magic formula’ tyre model.
