Cornering stiffness estimation using Levenberg-Marquardt approach. (English) Zbl 07480130

Summary: Study of vehicle dynamics aggregates possibilities to enhance performance, safety and reliability, such as the integration of control systems, usually requiring knowledge on vehicle’s states and parameters. However, some critical values are difficult to measure or are not disclosed. For this reason, dynamics and stability analysis of six-wheeled vehicles are compromised, and available information on this matter is limited. In this context, this paper proposes the estimation of the cornering stiffness of a 6x6 vehicle by an inverse problem approach applying the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) method. The algorithm required data from field experiments and from simulations of a vehicle model during a double-lane change manoeuvre developed using Simulink\(^{\circledR}\)/MATLAB\(^{\circledR}\). Experimental and theoretical values for the vehicle yaw rate were combined through LM method for cornering stiffness estimation. The excellent agreement between measured and simulated yaw rate indicates that the proposed model and the estimated parameters properly represent the vehicle dynamics response.
