A friction monitoring system (2) for vehicles (4, 16) which comprises a slipperiness detection device (6) suited to making measurements of at least one parameter related to slipperiness of a roadway close to a first vehicle (4), to determining at least one friction value on the basis of the measurement and to generating a friction signal (8) comprising said friction value determined. Also provided is a processing device (10) adapted to receiving said friction signal (8) and to generating a slipperiness information signal (12) comprising said friction value. The friction monitoring system (2) comprises also a first communication device (14) situated in the first vehicle (4) and adapted to receiving said slipperiness information signal (12) and to transmitting a processed slipperiness information signal (15) wirelessly in a format such that one or more other vehicles (16) can receive the processed signal (15), process it and, where necessary, activate at least one skid protection system (17) in said other vehicle on the basis of the information contained in the processed signal (15), said slipperiness information signal (12) being arranged to be passed on and, where necessary, to activate at least one skid protection system (22) of the first vehicle (4) in accordance with a set of dynamic activation rules. |
