Comparison of KF-Based Vehicle Sideslip Estimation Logics with Increasing Complexity for a Passenger Car.

Nowadays, control is pervasive in vehicles, and a full and accurate knowledge of vehicle states is crucial to guarantee safety levels and support the development of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADASs). In this scenario, real-time monitoring of the vehicle sideslip angle becomes fundamental, and various virtual sensing techniques based on both vehicle dynamics models and data-driven methods are widely presented in the literature. Given the need for on-board embedded device solutions in autonomous vehicles, it is mandatory to find the correct balance between estimation accuracy and the computational burden required.
