Wheel action force detection system and wheel action force detection method

摘要

An object is to provide a wheel action force detection system and a wheel action force detection method for finding braking force of a vehicle having a disc brake at the time of braking with high accuracy. A wheel action force detection system 1 comprises deformation amount sensors 2a and 2b detecting elastic deformation amount of a suspension unit 13 which pivotally supports a traveling wheel 11 rotatably; a braking force sensor 3 detecting braking force in the case that a disc brake 14 fixed to the suspension unit 13 brakes the traveling wheel 11; and a control part 4a calculating longitudinal force, axial force and vertical force acting on the suspension unit 13 based on the elastic deformation amount of the suspension unit 13, regarding the result of subtracting longitudinal component of reaction force of braking force of the disc brake 14 from longitudinal force acting on the suspension unit 13 as longitudinal force acting on the traveling wheel 11, and regarding the result of subtracting vertical component of reaction force of braking force of the disc brake 14 from vertical force acting on the suspension unit 13 as vertical force acting on the traveling wheel 11 so as to calculate wheel action force acting on the traveling wheel 11 at the touching part between the traveling wheel 11 and a road surface.
