Abstract
A load estimation system for a tire is provided. The tire includes a pair of sidewalls extending to a circumferential tread and supports a vehicle. A sensor is mounted to the tire and measures an inflation pressure of the tire and a footprint length of the tread. A vehicle loading state estimator determines a loading state of the vehicle. An inflation correction factor is determined from the vehicle loading state. A pressure correction module receives the measured footprint length, the measured inflation pressure, and the inflation correction factor, and determines an adjusted footprint length. A de-noising module processor receives the adjusted footprint length to generate a filtered footprint length, and a wear correction module receives the filtered footprint length and corrects for wear of the tire to generate a wear-corrected footprint length. A load determination model receives the wear-corrected footprint length and determines an estimated load on the tire.
