Abstract
A system for measuring forces from a rotating object is presented. In one aspect, the measurement system has a plurality of strain sensors that are configured to attach to the sidewall of a tire of a vehicle and measure the strain on the sidewall. The system can also have a data processor to relate the strain on the sidewall to the normal force exerted on the driving surface from the tire.
