Abstract
A road surface condition estimation apparatus which accurately estimates a road surface condition even under changes of external environment such as weather, etc., and a road surface condition estimation method using the same is described. The road surface condition estimation apparatus includes: a sensor module which is mounted on a tire; a receiver module which receives sensing information measured by the sensor module; a processing module which extracts a parameter for estimating a road surface condition by analyzing the sensing information received by the receiver module; and an estimation module which estimates the road surface condition by using the parameter extracted by the processing module. The sensing information includes an acceleration of the tire.
