Real-Time Axle-Load Sensing and AI-Enhanced Braking-Distance Prediction for Multi-Axle Heavy-Duty Trucks
Published on 2026-02-03 by Duk Sun Yun, Byung Chul Lim @MDPI
Abstract: Accurate braking-distance prediction for heavy-duty multi-axle trucks remains challenging due to the large gross vehicle weight, tandem-axle interactions, and strong transient load transfer during emergency braking. Recent studies on tire–road friction estimation, commercial-vehicle braking control (EBS/AEBS), and weigh-in-motion (WIM) sensing have highlighted that unmeasured vertical-load dynamics and time-varying friction are key sources of prediction uncertainty. To address thes[...]
