In this paper an original method for estimating heavy duty vehicle tyre forces is presented. The method is based on a variable gain sliding mode observer. The main on-board sensors are available through the CAN-bus of the vehicle to which low-cost sensors are added. The approach is validated by comparing the estimated forces to those provided by the software vehicle dynamics simulator PROSPER.
