Abstract
Real-time estimation of the road surface friction coefficient is crucial for vehicle dynamics control. Under large steering angles, the accuracy of existing road surface friction coefficient estimation methods is unsatisfactory due to the nonlinear characteristics of the tire. This paper proposes a segmented estimation method for the road adhesion coefficient, which considers different steering angle ranges and utilizes multimodal vehicle dynamics fusion. The method is designed to accurately estimate the road adhesion coefficient across the full steering angle range of the steer-by-wire system. When the front wheel angle is small (less than 2.8°), an improved Unscented Kalman Filter (AUKF) algorithm is used to estimate the road surface friction coefficient. When the front wheel angle is large (greater than 3.2°), a rack force expansion state observer is constructed using the dynamics…
