A Coefficient of Friction Estimation Monitoring System for Autonomous Off-Road Vehicles Using Wide Area Augme- ntation Systems (WAAS) and a Magnetic Pulse Generator Shaft Encoder Abstract: The proposed work introduces a means of developing a friction measurement system that has many applications in vehicle safety systems such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). Rapid weather and road conditions would change the behavior of the vehicle and a need of a system to eliminate the associated hazard is crucial. This system depends mainly on merging the output of two subsystems; a Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)and counting magnetic pulses generated by gear teeth on the vehicle’s axle (Wheel Shaft Encoder). This will lead to a better accuracy of the measurement of the Coefficient of Friction. Moreover, the physical relation between the different parameters of the system such as the slip angel, friction, normal force, and stiffness will improve the......
