To develop this measurement system, we designed three key components: (1) Fourier Amplitude Sensitivity Test (FAST) was used to determine the optimal accelerometer arrangement for improving this system measurement accuracy; (2) Signal preprocessing algorithms was designed to extract promising acceleration signal features of tire force; (3) Bayesian Neural Network was used to achieve precise tire force estimation. Experimental results indicate that the estimated tire force of this system has a good agreement with the reference tire force under varying conditions, including load, slip ratio, slip angle, tire pressure, vehicle speed and road friction coefficient. The offline Mean Absolute Percentage Errors for tire longitudinal, lateral, and vertical forces based on the BNN were 2.64%, 2.44%, and 0.55%, respectively.

Nevertheless, the installation deformation induced by screw tightening can result in significant angular errors. In this paper, the characteristics and mechanisms of deformation errors were analyzed for the first time. By employing a finite element method rather than a full mathematical modelling approach, the analysis denotes that the angular error resulting from installation deformation can be expressed in terms of a harmonic function with a period of 2π/<em>m</em>, where <em>m</em> represents the quantity of installation screws. Subsequently, leveraging “<em>m</em> cycle” fluctuation, a comprehensive model for angular error compensation that considers all installation errors, including deformation, eccentricity and inclination, is put forward. The experimental results with an uncertainty of 0.3″ indicate that the amplitude of the deformation error is 0.63″, deviating from the theoretical value of 0.68″ by merely 7.4%. After being compensated by the proposed comprehensive model, the angular error is diminished by 87.6% and attains a value of 2.58″, which is even better than the manufacturing accuracy of 3.5″.

Vehicles equipped with advanced intelligent systems offer the potential to enhance safety by continuously monitoring and analyzing the driver’s condition and behavior in real time, thereby aligning vehicle control more closely with the driver’s intentions. While visual detection methods within the cockpit are often impeded by obstructions such as other passengers or interior elements, the driver’s seat provides a unique advantage due to its constant, unobstructed contact with the driver throughout the driving process. This positioning enables the seat to detect subtle changes in its morphology, offering a reliable means to map the driver’s state with minimal interference. This paper introduces a novel pressure-based intelligent seat system integrated with an array of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) sensors and proposes a tailored Pressure Mat Vision Transformer (ViT) model to accurately classify the driver’s operational behaviors.
