Research Abstract |
The present study proposed a simple tactile sensor that can measure vertical load, frictional load and its direction simultaneously and tried to equip a tire with the proposed sensor so as to measure the frictional coefficient of road. In order to confirm the availability of the sensor, a simple driving simulator that can apply high-load to a tire in arbitrary direction were developed. By using the simulator, the study has measured the frictional coefficients of various surfaces by using the tire equipped with the tactile sensor. As a result, it has been confirmed that the sensor can measure wide range of frictional coefficients under high-load by considering the deformation of the tire.
