Abstract
In order to evaluate the driving stability of a motor vehicle, the accurate determination of the vehicle sideslip angle is of significant importance. With the help of the sensor signals in today’s production vehicles, this state can only be determined with limited accuracy. The RWTH Aachen and the BA Ravensburg developed a new algorithm for the determination and estimation of the vehicle state. In the described estimator a two-track model of the vehicle is used, which represents the road contact with the Pacejka’s Magic Formula tyre model.
