Vehicle state estimation represents a prerequisite for ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistant Systems) and, more in general, for autonomous driving. In particular, algorithms designed for path or trajectory planning require the continuous knowledge of some data such as the lateral velocity and heading angle of the vehicle, together with its lateral position with respect to the road boundaries. Vehicle state estimation can be assessed by means of extended and unscented Kalman filters (EKF and UKF, respectively), that have been well treated in the literature. Referring to an experimental case study, the presented work deals with the design and the real time implementation of two different adaptive Kalman filters for vehicle sideslip and positioning estimation. Accuracy have been assessed by means of an automotive optical sensor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
