Claim Text:
1. A tire-based system for adapting the calculation of temperature-sensitive tire cornering stiffness comprising: at least one tire mounted to a wheel hub and supporting a vehicle; at least one temperature sensor mounted to the one tire for measuring a tire temperature at a tire radially outward surface; an algorithmic model operatively receiving the tire temperature as an input and using the tire temperature in adapting a temperature-sensitive tire cornering stiffness; the algorithmic model comprising a second-order polynomial model capturing the dependency of the cornering stiffness to the tire temperature and estimating the tire cornering stiffness at the tire temperature; and a vehicle control system for using the temperature-sensitive tire cornering stiffness adapted by the tire temperature in at least one operative control command for the vehicle.
