Method for judging road surface condition and device thereof, and program for judging road surface condition
First Claim
1. A method for judging road surface condition comprising the steps of:
- detecting periodically rotational speeds of four wheel tires mounted on a vehicle;
memorizing the rotational speed of each tires;
determining a slip ratio from said wheel rotational speeds;
determining acceleration or deceleration of said vehicle;
determining a relation equation between said slip ratio and said acceleration of the vehicle;
determining a judgment value for judging a friction coefficient between road surface and said tires based on slope of said relation equation determined; and
setting a threshold used for judging friction coefficient from said judgment value with information of wireless tags buried in said tires.

Abstract
A judgment method of road surface condition includes steps of: periodically detecting the wheel rotational speeds of the four wheel tires of a vehicle, memorizing the wheel rotational speed of each of tires, determining a slip ratio from said wheel rotational speeds, determining the acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, determining a relation equation between said slip ratio and the acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, determining a judgment value for judging a friction coefficient between the road surface and tires based on the slope of said relation equation determined, and setting a threshold which is used for judging the friction coefficient from the judgment value using the information of wireless tags which were buried in the tires.
