METHOD OF DETERMINING VEHICLE PROPERTIES
First Claim
1. A method of determining at least one property of a vehicle by the following steps:
- a) providing a vehicle with a set of tires and a vehicle control system wherein at least one tire has means to communicate with the vehicle control system and the vehicle control system has a processor and, a preprogrammed vehicle model;
b) sending either static or dynamic tire information from the tire to the vehicle control system via the tire communication means; and
c) estimating a vehicle property by the vehicle observer using the received tire information.

Abstract
Vehicle properties are determined by providing both actual and real-time data of the tires to the vehicle control system. The data includes both static and dynamic tire data. The properties are determined by the following steps: a) putting a vehicle in motion, the vehicle being provided with a set of tires and a vehicle control system wherein at least one tire has means to communicate with the vehicle control system and the vehicle control system has a processor, a vehicle observer, and a preprogrammed vehicle model; b) sending either static or dynamic tire information from the tire to the vehicle control system via the tire communication means; and c) estimating a vehicle property using the received tire information.

9. A method of determining the yaw rate target of a vehicle by the following steps:
-
a) the vehicle being provided with a set of tires and a vehicle control system wherein the vehicle control system has a processor that can calculate a yaw rate target of the vehicle in motion, b) sending tire force and moment coefficient data from the tires to the vehicle control system, and c) calculating the yaw rate target using the received tire force and moment coefficients.
