  1. Tyre and Vehicle Model Identification using Identifying Kalman Filters Matthew C Best Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering Loughborough University, UK

  2. Background • Kalman filters are used widely for state estimation, but rely on good, suitably simple vehicle / tyre models • System identification provides a way to optimise simple model accuracy • The Extended Kalman filter can include parameter adaptation, but design covariance matrices still need to be chosen • If the full state set is measurable, the Extended Kalman filter can be re-configured for system identification directly

  4. Extended Kalman Filter for State Estimation From Model and gradients Assuming : And Estimating : Real-time state estimate :

  5. Combined State & Parameter Estimation [1],[2] Can extend the Model to include Parameters : But design covariance is not much easier, and still fixed :

  6. Source model EAKF, l = 5x10-4 EAKF, l = 5x10-3 Real-time combined x and q Result [1]

  7. Adaptive combined x and q Result [2] Mass (kg ´ 10-0.3) Yaw inertia, Izz (kgm2´ 10-0.3) Roll inertia, Ixx (kgm2´ 10-0.3) Mass centre fore/aft position (m ´ 0.3)

  8. System Identification or Parameter Estimation ? If Eg by combined GPS / inertia instrumentation of test vehicle Replace state set completely. Model (h) only appears in y : then f = 0, F = 0 yk = [ r, v]Tor [ r, v, f, p]Tor [ r, v, ay]T

  9. Dedicated System Identification [3],[4],[5] Error sequences now known explicitly Speed of convergence 0 <l < 1 Acceptable change in params (fast / slow)

  10. Tyre Model Identification [3],[4] Objective : Identify a single, load dependent tyre model, directly from the vehicle data Parameters : • Pacejka curve B, C, D, E • (P, G, C, E here) • Steering compliance S • CG long. and vert. position, a, h 3dof model :

  11. Vehicle Testing [4] OXTS RT3200 GPS / inertia measurement (6dof body kinematics) Steering input from CAN, 3.5l Jaguar XJ8 Test Vehicle 100Hz sampling rate, data & Kalman Filter Identification data : Four constant speeds, increasing step steer Validation data : ‘free drive’ around proving ground, varying speed & steer steer, d, (rad) yaw rate, r, (rad/s) sideslip, v, (m/s)

  13. Open loop state accuracy : Identification test S Sideslip velocity, v Yaw angular velocity, r Typical time history (s) Source data Original model Optimised model Roll angular velocity, p

  14. Open loop state accuracy : Validation test Sideslip velocity, v Lateral acceleration, ay Section of time history (s) Source data Original model Optimised model Roll angular velocity, p

  15. Identified Tyre Model : Normalised Plot front rear x : left Normalised lateral force + : right Normalised slip

  16. Fast parameter adaptation : Friction tracking [5] Algorithm changes : • : was 0.01 now 0.1 t : was 350 now 0.01 q = [G] GPS position track : Proving ground wet handling track

  17. Friction tracking result Source data (estimated from GPS trace and proving ground data Friction coefficient IEKF estimate Time (s)

  18. Source data Invariant model m varying model Friction tracking : open loop state variation Sideslip velocity, v Time (s)

  19. Conclusions • A simple model structure can provide very good state tracking • Combined state and parameter estimation can be effective, but needs accurate design covariance, and care with conditioning • A ‘reasonable’ model set-up can estimate yaw rate and lateral acceleration fairly easily • Optimisation of the tyre model improves these states, and dramatically improves sideslip velocity prediction • A single tyre model can be identified and validated, adding credibility to the sideslip velocity measurement accuracy claims of the GPS / inertia instrumentation manufacturers. • Fast adaptation is successful and can track rapid friction variation
