Estimation of Vehicle Parameters and Road Friction Using Steering Torque and Wheel Speeds
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is often difficult to measure all necessary parameters directly in the current stability control systems. This paper presents a nonlinear observer to estimate vehicle’s yaw rate, lateral acceleration, tire side slip angles and the road friction coefficient based on the measurement signals of the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The performances of the designed nonlinear observer have been investigated by means of computer simulations and experimental tests under various conditions. Key-Words: Nonlinear observer; Brush tire model; Tire aligning moment; Steering torque; Wheel speeds

Constrained Nonlinear Estimation of Road Friction Coefficient and Wheel Slip for Control of Anti-Lock Braking System
In designing the anti-lock braking system (ABS), some states and parameters of vehicle system such as road friction of coefficient and wheel slip should be estimated due to lack of cost effective and reliable sensors for direct measurement. Because of nonlinear characteristics of vehicle dynamics and tire forces, development of a nonlinear estimation algorithm is necessary. However, considerati...
متن کاملDriving Torque Distribution Method for Front-and- Rear- Wheel-Independent-Drive-Type Electric Vehicles (FRID EVs) at the Time of Cornering
This paper describes a driving torque distribution method for front–and-rear-wheel-independent-drivetype electric vehicles (FRID EVs) in which it is possible to get stable steering on a low friction coefficient road surface. This method is characterized by distributing driving torque to the left and right wheels of the front and rear wheels, considering not only load movement of the longitudina...
متن کاملRoad Friction Coefficient Estimation For Vehicle Path Prediction
One of the most noticeable trends of the automotive industry in the 1990's is the emerging of active safety technologies. Instead of passive protection and crash worthiness, emphasis has been shifted toward accident prevention and damage reduction using active safety techniques. To develop effective active safety devices, it is necessary to estimate vehicle motions accurately, and reliable road...
متن کاملTyre Friction Potential Estimation by Aligning Torque and Lateral Force Information
The modern active systems and the advanced driver assistance systems have certainly reduced the amount of accidents. However these systems are still lacking one major information, which is the friction between the tyre-road interface. The performance of these systems could be enhanced substantially if this information was known. Rather simple methods can be used to determine the friction coeffi...
متن کاملModeling and Optimal Control of 4 Wheel Steering Vehicle Using LQR and its Comparison with 2 Wheel Steering Vehicle
In this paper, kinetic and kinematic modeling of a 4 wheel steering vehicle is done and its movement is controlled in an optimal way using Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR). The results are compared with the same control of two-wheel steering case and the advantages are analyzed. In 4 wheel steering vehicles which are nowadays more applicable the number of controlling actuators are more than the...
