English abstract:
The estimation of the maximum lateral coefficient
of friction of a passenger vehicle between tire and road is
presented in this paper. This is achieved by utilizing the
instantaneous cornering stiffness, which is defined as the slope
of the nonlinear curve of the lateral friction coefficient at the
instantaneous tire slip angle. The maximum lateral coefficient of
friction is necessary for integrated global cassis control (IGCC)
especially for the estimation of the lateral velocity of the vehicle.
The advantage of this method is the low computational effort
and the independence of tire or road conditions. Two methods
for estimation of the instantaneous cornering stiffness and the
maximum coefficient of friction in real time and a method
for offline estimation used as a reference are described and
validated using measured data of a passenger vehicle.
