This paper presents methods for identifying the tire-road friction coefficient. The proposed methods are: an observer-based least square method and an observer/filtered-regressor-based method. These methods were designed assuming that some of the states are not available since physical parameter identification methods developed assuming that the system states are available are not attractive from a practical point of view. The observer is used to estimate signals which are difficult or expensive to measure. Using the estimated states of the system and the filtered-regressor, the parameter estimates are obtained. The proposed methods are evaluated on an eight state nonlinear vehicle/transmission simulation model with a Bakker-Pacejka's formula tire model. Vehicle tests have been performed on dry and wet roads to verify the performance of the methods. It has been shown through simulations and vehicle tests how the RPM sensors can be used with observer based identification methods to estimate the tire-road friction from measurements of engine rpm, transmission output speed and wheel speed. The proposed methods will be useful in the implementation and adaptation of vehicle collision warning/avoidance algorithm since the tire-road friction can be estimated only using the RPM sensors which are currently being used in production vehicles.
