A Review of Estimation for Vehicle Tire-Road Interactions Toward Automated Driving

This paper proposes an extensive overview of the tire-road interaction estimation issue as it relates to automated driving from the prospectives of sensor configuration, tire modeling, and estimation approaches. The tire-road interactions needed for estimation are first determined and classified. Then, the sensor configuration schemes of different types of tire-road interactions are presented and analyzed. The following introduces various types of tire models and provides the limitations and advantages of different estimation approaches based on categorizing and summarizing those techniques. Moreover, some interesting perspectives for future research are listed based on the extensive experience of the authors.
