Abstract
A tire wear state estimation system includes a CAN bus system disposed on a vehicle. A tire supporting the vehicle is mounted on a wheel. A wheel sensor unit is mounted on a structure adjacent the wheel, and the wheel sensor unit includes a longitudinal acceleration sensor to generate a longitudinal acceleration signal. The wheel sensor unit also includes a vertical acceleration sensor to generate a vertical acceleration signal, and transmission means to communicate the longitudinal acceleration signal and the vertical acceleration signal to the CAN bus system. A processor receives the longitudinal acceleration signal and the vertical acceleration signal. An extractor extracts a tire translational mode from the longitudinal acceleration signal and a tire vertical mode from the vertical acceleration signal. The tire translational mode and the tire vertical mode are input into a classifier to generate a wear state estimation for the tire. A method is also provided.
