    Abstract: A tire radius monitoring system for dynamically determining a tire effective radius for each of the wheels on a vehicle is described. The system includes a GPS sensor, a plurality of wheel speed sensors, and a controller. The controller determines, via the GPS sensor, a velocity vector related to longitudinal velocity of the vehicle. The controller determines wheel speeds for the plurality of vehicle wheels, and detects a no-wheel-slip state for the vehicle wheels and the velocity vector from the GPS sensor. The controller determines tire effective radii for the plurality of vehicle wheels based upon the velocity vector for the vehicle and the wheel speeds for the plurality of vehicle wheels during the no-wheel-slip state, and controls vehicle operation based upon the tire effective radii.

    Abstract: A system is configured to control aerodynamics of a vehicle. The vehicle includes a body having a front end facing oncoming ambient airflow. The system includes a vehicle control device for receiving operator input to command a target vehicle dynamic response. A vehicle subsystem adjusts an actual vehicle dynamic response to the operator input. The system also includes an adjustable aerodynamic-aid element and a mechanism for varying the element's position to control movement of the airflow relative to the vehicle. At least one sensor detects the adjusted actual vehicle dynamic response and communicates a feedback signal indicative of the detected vehicle dynamic response to a controller. The controller also determines a target position for the aerodynamic-aid element using the detected adjusted actual vehicle dynamic response and regulates the aerodynamic-aid element to its target position via the mechanism to control the aerodynamics and achieve the target dynamic response of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a longitudinal acceleration estimation module, a vehicle longitudinal acceleration sensor, a road grade estimation module, and an actuator control module. The longitudinal acceleration estimation module estimates a longitudinal acceleration of a vehicle based on at least one of a transmission output speed and a wheel speed. The vehicle longitudinal acceleration sensor measures the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle. The road grade estimation module estimates a grade of a road on which the vehicle is traveling based on the estimated longitudinal acceleration and the measured longitudinal acceleration. The actuator control module controls an actuator of the vehicle based on the estimated road grade.
