    摘要: Systems (100) and methods (300) are disclosed herein for estimating, e.g., a rolling resistance force (242) acting upon a vehicle-mounted tire. An inventive model implements real-time signals (230) representative of sensed values for tire inflation pressure and/or contained air temperature, and selectively retrieved tire-specific steady state values (224), at least one of which corresponds to a wear state of the tire (222). Since the inflation pressure can be used instead of contained air temperature, the real time signals can be obtained from sensors (118) mounted on an inner liner of the tire, a sensor mounted on a valve of the tire, or even an external sensor wherein the inflation is indirectly obtained. The steady state values may initially be obtained using drum testing or finite element analysis, wherein current wear estimations (250) may further be provided in real time for adjustment of initial values (252) to improve model performance.

    摘要: FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of a tire showing our new design, it being understood that the tread pattern is repeated throughout the circumference of the tire, the opposite side being the same as that shown;
    FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the tire;
    FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view of FIG. 2 taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2; and,
    FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the left side of the tire, the opposite side being the same as that shown.
    The broken lines defining the sidewall, inner bead, and the peripheral boundary between the claimed tire tread and the sidewall depict environmental subject matter that forms no part of the claimed design.
