Abstract
A method for determining a characteristic quantity representative of grip conditions of a vehicle wheel running on a ground surface involves imposing a given simultaneous steering angle variation on two wheels mounted on the same axle of the vehicle, the steering angle variation being of the same amplitude for the two wheels but in opposite directions, and measuring the characteristic quantity for at least one of the two wheels.
