This paper presents sliding mode observers designed to estimate tire forces and road profile. Tire forces affect the vehicle dynamic performance and behavior properties. The tire forces and road friction are difficult to measure and their modelling is rather complex. In this work we deal with a simple model of vehicle combined with sliding mode approach to develop robust observers.
