Summary:•Determining longitudinal slip ratio using camera based techniques.•Uses single sensor to measure.•Measures tyre velocity directly at the contact patch.•Compensates for tyre deflection. Measurement of tyre longitudinal slip-ratio is often estimated from three independent measurements devices namely wheel rotation speed, vehicle speed and tyre rolling radius. This produces an expensive measurement system to indirectly determine the slip-ratio. This paper presents a method by which the slip-ratio is determined from a video camera using digital image correlation techniques. The camera, mounted in such a way that the contact patch region is captured, enables the system to measure the tyre tread speed and ground speed at the contact patch. The slip-ratio is then determined from these two measurements.
