Abstract
A method and system for determining a load exerted on a tyre fitted on a vehicle during the running of the vehicle on a rolling surface. The tire has an equatorial plane. A concave upward function F=F(PL) of the tire load versus the length of a contact region is provided between the tire and the rolling surface. The length (PL) is estimated substantially at the equatorial plane and the tire load corresponding to said estimated length is derived from the function.
