Abstract

See full text

An improved vehicle active brake control based on an estimate of vehicle yaw rate and slip angle, wherein the estimate is based on a weighted average of two yaw rate values developed with two different estimation techniques. In general, the first estimate of yaw rate is based on the relative velocity of the un-driven wheels, and the second estimate is based on a measure of lateral acceleration. Confidence levels in each estimate are determined and used to form a third or preliminary yaw rate estimate based on a weighted average of the first and second estimates, and the third estimate is supplied to a closed-loop nonlinear dynamic observer which develops the final estimate of yaw rate, along with estimates of lateral velocity and side-slip angle.
