US Classification:

702 41

Abstract:

Estimating a load bearing on a vehicle tire includes an inflation pressure measuring sensor for measuring tire inflation pressure and generating a measured tire inflation pressure signal; a deformation measuring sensor mounted in a tire region of the vehicle tire, the deformation measuring sensor in the form of a piezoelectric bending sensor generating a deformation signal estimating a length of a tire contact patch length as the senor rolls through a tire footprint. Tire rolling speed is estimated from the deformation signal and a peak to peak amplitude variation within the deformation signal is detected and measured. An artificial neural network receives the tire rolling speed estimation, the contact patch length estimation, the amplitude variation within the deformation signal, and the measured inflation pressure of the tire. The artificial neural network adaptively interprets the input data and generates an output load estimation based thereon.

Abstract:

A system and method of estimating a load bearing on a vehicle tire includes an inflation pressure measuring sensor attached to the tire for measuring a tire cavity inflation pressure level; and one or more piezofilm deformation measuring sensors mounted to one or both of the tire sidewalls. The deformation measuring sensor generates within the tire footprint a deformation signal having signal power level indicative of a level of sidewall deformation within the footprint contact patch. Power-to-load maps adjusted for tire inflation pressure are generated and stored for the tire, the maps correlating a range of load levels to a range of signal power levels whereby operatively enabling a load level to be identified for each signal power level on an inflation pressure adjusted basis.

Appl. No.:

7/966219

Inventors:

Assignee:

Allied-Signal Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

B60T 872

US Classification:

303 94

Abstract:

An anti-skid brake control system (9) for a wheeled vehicle has a conventional continuous source of pressurized hydraulic fluid, a hydraulically actuated wheel rotation braking device which responds via a wheel brake valve (11) to applied hydraulic pressure to apply a braking force to a wheel of the vehicle, and an operator actuatable control (10, 12, 39) for varying the supply of hydraulic pressure to the wheel rotation braking device. The system is responsive directly to the operator actuatable control (10, 12, 39) for determining the deceleration (14) currently commanded by the operator and further dynamically determines a maximum permissible wheel deceleration (47) at a given time. The operator controlled supply of hydraulic pressure to the braking device is overridden in the event that the deceleration (14) currently commanded by the operator exceeds the maximum permissible wheel deceleration. Maximum permissible wheel deceleration is dynamically determined by measuring the angular velocity (13) of the wheel, calculating the angular deceleration (51) of the wheel from the measured angular velocity (13), determining a maximum angular deceleration value (47) based on the measured angular velocity (13), determining the difference (53) between the calculated angular deceleration and the determined maximum angular deceleration, and modifying the determined maximum angular deceleration by a fraction of the determined difference (55) only if the determined maximum angular deceleration (47) is greater than the calculated angular deceleration (51).

A sensor unit is mounted to the tire and includes a pair of electrical contacts. A tread wear sensor extends into one of the tread elements and includes a wire. The wire includes proximal ends, each one of which contacts a sensor unit electrical contact to create an electrical circuit. A flexible container is mounted to an innerliner of the tire. A cup includes a base and a sidewall that cooperate to form a cavity, and a bottom of the tread wear sensor and the sensor unit are received in the cavity. The cup maintains a connection between the electrical contacts and the wire proximal ends, and is disposed in the flexible container.
