NEW VEHICLE DYNAMICS MODEL FOR YAW RATE ESTIMATION

This paper presents a new vehicle model to estimate vehicle yaw rate. This model is improved from the conventional two-degree-of-freedom vehicle model, so-called bicycle model, taking nonlinear effects into account. This model is still linear, although nonlinear effects are included. Nonlinear effects are expressed as a time variant system. These nonlinear effects are: (i) tyre nonlinearity; (ii) lateral load transfer during cornering; (iii) variable gear ratio with respect to vehicle velocity. Kalman filter equation was derived from the proposed model. Estimation results are validated with the experimental results. For the covering abstract see ITRD E120692.
