Abstract(E)Recently, off-road four-wheelers are used in various situation. To develop future models that matches the users’ demands, collecting data about how vehicles are actually used in market is effective.
In this paper, we proposed a method to estimate tire forces using formula derived from simple equation of motion of a vehicle. This method is constructed to be suitable for mass-produces vehicles, since only inexpensive sensors are needed.
In order to verify the estimation accuracy of the proposed method, another method that can measure the tire forces more directly and to be compared with the proposed method is necessary.
In research and development in the field of automobiles running on the paved surfaces, tire force is often measured using a six-component force sensors mounted on the wheels. However, these sensors are basically intended for vehicles driving on the paved surfaces, and are not considered for measurement in situations such as unpaved off-road surfaces.
Therefore, we applied another method to calculate the tire force based on the measurement results of strain gage attached on vehicle frame. Strain values are pre-calibrated by simulation and driving tests of basic driving patterns.
The estimated tire forces by the proposed methods are compared with those calculated by strain gages measurement of vehicle frame, and the good agreement has been obtained.

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.
If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).
Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.
Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)"  X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"
If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)
If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.
The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.
