Estimation of States and Cornering Stiffness of a Vehicle by LPV‐MHE.

In this paper, we consider an estimation problem of sideslip angle and cornering stiffness of a vehicle from measurements of yaw rate, lateral acceleration and steering angle. Firstly, a vehicle dynamical model is expressed as a linear parameter‐varying system with cornering stiffness as uncertain parameters. Then, we show a method to estimate the parameters and the state based on moving horizon estimation. We provide a simple algorithm to solve the estimation problem. The effectiveness of the estimation method is evaluated through numerical simulations. © 2024 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan and Wiley Periodicals LLC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
