Abstract

This paper presents a novel hybrid observer structure to estimate the lateral tire forces and road grip potential without using any tire–road friction model. The observer consists of an Extended Kalman Filter structure, which incorporates the available prior knowledge about the vehicle dynamics, a feedforward Neural Network structure, which is used to estimate the highly nonlinear tire behavior, and a Recursive Least Squares block, which predicts the road grip potential. The proposed observer was evaluated under a wide range of aggressive maneuvers and different road grip conditions using a validated vehicle model, validated tire model, and sensor models in the simulation environment IPG CarMaker ® . The results confirm its good and robust performance.
