Road profile estimation in heavy vehicle dynamics simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract: In this paper, a new method is developed in order to estimate the road profile inputs of heavy vehicle. These inputs are very important to evaluate on-board the vertical forces acting on the wheels. The proposed method is based on the use of second and third order sliding mode observers to estimate all the vehicle states (positions, speeds and accelerations) in finite time. Simulations results are given to compare the two observers and to show the robustness of the proposed method.

Adaptive Super-Twisting Observer for Estimation of Random Road Excitation Profile in Automotive Suspension Systems
The estimation of road excitation profile is important for evaluation of vehicle stability and vehicle suspension performance for autonomous vehicle control systems. In this work, the nonlinear dynamics of the active automotive system that is excited by the unknown road excitation profile are considered for modeling. To address the issue of estimation of road profile, we develop an adaptive sup...

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...

Non-linear characteristic of tire forces is the main cause of vehicle lateral dynamics instability, while direct yaw moment control is an effective method to recover the vehicle stability. In this paper, an optimal linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller for roll-yaw dynamics to articulated heavy vehicles is developed. For this purpose, the equations of motion obtained by the MATLAB sof...

متن کاملRobust observation of tractor-trailer vertical forces using inverse model and exact differentiator
In this paper, we are interested in developing a robust tire-force estimator for heavy duty vehicles. We use a combined model of the articulated vehicle: a yaw plane model for the chassis motion and a vertical plane model for the axles. In the proposed method, we make use of the on-board available sensors to which are added lowcost sensors. In order to optimize the sensors configuration, a robu...
