Abstract

This paper discusses how to identify tire model coefficients that are used to compare longitudinal forces when braking. Those in the automotive world have worked extremely hard to obtain these parameters and different methods have been used to match the values of these parameters. This paper proposes the use of self-organizing maps to tackle this problem whereby interactively searches are carried out to find the optimum tire model parameters. The objective of this research is to prove the capability of self-organizing maps (SOMs) to classify a vehicle’s braking formula on a roller brake tester from the MOT (Ministry of Transport) and on flat ground. The neural network produced a good brake-slip ratio when presented with data that are not used in network training. This means that the methodology is feasible. This tool easily obtains the brake-slip equation of each experiment and the braking on two different experimental tests will be compared.
