Abstract:
A road surface friction coefficient estimation apparatus for a vehicle includes: a first estimator; a second estimator; and a third estimator. The first estimator estimates a first road surface friction coefficient on a basis of a vehicle information acquired from the vehicle. The second estimator estimates a second road surface friction coefficient on a basis of an external information acquired from an outside of the vehicle. The third estimator estimates a road surface friction coefficient from the first road surface friction coefficient and the second road surface friction coefficient on a basis of a first reliability degree and a second reliability degree, the first reliability degree indicating a reliability of the first road surface friction coefficient, the second reliability degree indicating a reliability of the second road surface friction coefficient.
