Vehicle state estimation for advanced vehicle motion control using novel lateral tire force sensors

Abstract

In this paper, new real-time methods for the lateral vehicle velocity and roll angle estimation are presented. Lateral tire forces, obtained from a multi-sensing hub (MSHub) unit, are used to estimate lateral vehicle velocity and a roll angle. In order to estimate lateral vehicle velocity, the recursive least square (RLS) algorithm is utilized based on a linear vehicle model and sensor measurements. In the roll angle estimation, the Kalman filter is designed for real-time estimation. The proposed estimation methods, RLS-based estimator and the Kalman filter, were verified by field tests on an experimental electric vehicle. Test results show that the proposed estimation methods provide better estimation performances and these methods are robust to road conditions. 978-1-4577-

A Literature Survey on Sideslip Angle Estimation Using Vehicle Dynamics Based Methods

“…The research group gathered around Fujimoto and Hori from The University of Tokyo, Japan, employs Recursive Least Squares (RLS) method to estimate sideslip angle, tire-road forces, and cornering stiffnesses [35], [36]. Nonstandard sensors are used for the improvement of estimation accuracy.…”

Robust Torque Vectoring With Desired Cornering Stiffness for In-Wheel Motor Vehicles

“…10(e), is quite sensitive to noise, and it is mainly because the two filters in the inner-loop have large bandwidths. It is expected that these issues can be addressed by employing Kalman filters [48]- [50], which is one of our future research topics.…”

A comprehensive review on estimation strategies used in hybrid and battery electric vehicles

“…In [183,184], the roll angle is estimated through KF by integrating available sensor measurements and roll dynamics. In [190], the lateral dynamics model based roll angle estimator and the vehicle dynamics model based roll rate estimator are designed in order to identify the roll state of the vehicle by using some common sensor measurements such as the steering wheel angle, the lateral acceleration and the yaw rate.…”

“…There are several studies related with vehicle sideslip angle estimations in the literature [178][179][180][181][182][183][184][185][186][187][188][189][192][193][194]. In [179], a nonlinear tire model based observer (NTMBO) is developed for estimating the vehicle body slip angle.…”

“…In [183], a SO derived from the EKF method is proposed to estimate the in-wheel-motor-driven electric vehicle sideslip angle by using the lateral tire force sensors. In [178,184], an RLS based vehicle sideslip angle estimation algorithm is studied by using the real-time lateral tire force measurements obtained from the multisensing hub units. In [185], the vehicle body slip angle observer is designed based on the multirate Kalman filter (MKF) by using the combined vehicle and vision models.…”
