Autonomous Vehicle Kinematics and Dynamics Synthesis for Sideslip Angle Estimation Based on Consensus Kalman Filter
Abstract
An autonomous vehicle sideslip angle estimation algorithm is proposed based on consensus and vehicle kinematics/ dynamics synthesis. Based on the velocity error measurements between the reduced Inertial Navigation System (R-INS) and the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), a velocity-based Kalman filter is formalized to estimate the velocity errors, attitude errors, and gyro bias errors of the R-INS. The observability issue of the heading error, which affects sideslip estimation, is analyzed. Then, to enhance the observability and improve the estimation accuracy of the heading error under normal driving conditions, a consensus Kalman information filter is developed to synthesize the vehicle kinematics and dynamics and estimate the heading error. Within the developed consensus framework, one node augments a novel heading error measurement from a linear vehicle-dynamic-based sideslip estimator and another node adopts the heading error from the GNSS course. Next, based on the vehicle lateral excitation level, a weighting scheme is proposed to fuse the error state estimates from the velocity-based and consensus Kalman state observers. The stability of the proposed state observers is also investigated. Comprehensive experimental studies, including critical slalom, slight/normal double lane change, and normal driving maneuvers, were conducted to verify the proposed estimation framework; they confirm the reliability and accuracy of the estimator in various automated driving conditions even in comparison with state-of-the-art methods that utilize more measurements (dual-antenna GNSS). Also, this novel multisensor framework is extendable to leverage speed information from other sensors such as cameras and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) to increase reliability and accuracy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
