A New Detection Method for a Slippery Wheel by an Induction Magnetometer

One of the essential factors in ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) that needs to be considered is to improve ambient safe driving for vehicles on a slippery road. This letter proposes a new detection technique for slipping vehicle's wheels based on measuring the magnetic patterns of a magnetized rotated wheel by on-board vehicle induction magnetometer. The data of the magnetic patterns of a slipping wheel that has been collected by both observation method and computer-based simulation method has been compared and evaluated. The results demonstrate that our new sensor capable to provide a practical device for future ITS
