Abstract
A device for estimating a factor of one-side pull to be generated at a vehicle includes one or more sensors, a calculator, and an estimator. The one or more sensors are configured to detect an acting force on one or more sensors wheels. The calculator is configured to calculate a position of a center of a ground contact load based on information outputted by the one or more sensors. The estimator is configured to estimate the factor based on a lateral displacement of the center of the ground contact load.
