This paper presents a method of simultaneous estimation of tire pressure and tire-road friction. A sliding-mode scheme is designed to identify the system state and the parameter variation of a torsional tire system, which greatly depend on the change in tire pressure. Then, the recursive least-squares method with a forgetting facto is used to estimate the parameter variations of the tire system and the tire-road friction force without a friction model using the information retrieved from the equivalent input for sliding motion. A simulation study is performed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
