A Road Condition Classification Algorithm for a Tire Acceleration Sensor using an Artificial Neural Network

The automotive industry is experiencing a period of innovation, represented by the term CASE (connected, autonomous, shared, and electric). Among the innovative new technologies for automobiles, intelligent tire (iTire) collects road surface information through sensors installed inside a tire and in...
