The obstacle motion state estimation is an essential task in intelligent vehicle. The ASCL group has developed such a system that uses a radar and GPS/INS. When running on the road, the acceleration of the vehicle is always changing, so it is hard for constant velocity (CV) model and constant acceleration (CA) model to describe the motion state of the vehicle. This paper introduced Current Statistical (CS) model from military field, which uses the modified Rayleigh distribution to describe acceleration. The adaptive Kalman filter based on CS model was used to estimate the motion state of the target. We conducted simulation experiments and real vehicle tests, and the results showed that the estimation of position, velocity, and acceleration can be precise.

Unsprung Mass

The states of the suspension system including the road excitation depend on the road quality, the velocity of the car, and the sprung mass. Those states play a very important role in the control problem of stability, ride comfort, ride safety, and dynamic wheel load of the suspension systems. The velocities and deflections of the sprung mass and unsprung mass would not be measured fully in the practice. Therefore, it must be estimated by other measured quantities from the system such as acceleration and deflection of sprung mass and unsprung mass. To control the active suspension system, its states need to be estimated accurately and guaranteed the response time. This paper presents the method using the sigma point Kalman filter to estimate the suspension system’s states including the road excitation, the deflections, and the velocities of the sprung mass and unsprung mass. The mathematical model of the suspension system is rewritten for the state estimation problem, and the stochastic load profile is supposed the main noise input. The stochastic characteristic of the road excitation depending on the car’s velocity is taken into account in the model used for suspension system state estimation. The results calculated based on the practical experiment data for specific road profile with some particular velocities of the car show that the suspension system states are estimated quite accurately in comparison with the practice states.

Raw Observations

The article considers the road monitoring weather-stations which collects raw observations that are processed to be able to make the necessary forecasting for future decisions. For the road maintainers those predictions are crucial to make decisions daily. When it comes to the winter season when road safety is very important; however, the road condition is also affected by the snow and icing. In order to improve safety on the road network the road maintainers are trying to use every possible way to be able to provide it. A number of methods have been studied and compared to clarify the parameter required by Kalman filter, which can be improved by making forecasting more accurate. Several road monitoring weather-stations are merged into one region because they are relatively close to each other and it is assumed that there are common conditions in one region that may indicate changes in road conditions. The corresponding algorithms are applied for each region and then compared to each other. Adaptive Kalman filter is generalized in the relevant article in order to have a general understanding of how to correctly apply the approach. The main result of this article is a comparison with the different methods, which are finally compiled in a single table.

Cubature Kalman Filter

The motion state of a quadruped robot in operation changes constantly. Due to the drift caused by the accumulative error, the function of the inertial measurement unit (IMU) will be limited. Even though multi-sensor fusion technology is adopted, the quadruped robot will lose its ability to respond to state changes after a while because the gain tends to be constant. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a strong tracking mixed-degree cubature Kalman filter (STMCKF) method. According to system characteristics of the quadruped robot, this method makes fusion estimation of forward kinematics and IMU track. The combination mode of traditional strong tracking cubature Kalman filter (TSTCKF) and strong tracking is improved through demonstration. A new method for calculating fading factor matrix is proposed, which reduces sampling times from three to one, saving significantly calculation time. At the same time, the state estimation accuracy is improved from the third-degree accuracy of Taylor series expansion to fifth-degree accuracy. The proposed algorithm can automatically switch the working mode according to real-time supervision of the motion state and greatly improve the state estimation performance of quadruped robot system, exhibiting strong robustness and excellent real-time performance. Finally, a comparative study of STMCKF and the extended Kalman filter (EKF) that is commonly used in quadruped robot system is carried out. Results show that the method of STMCKF has high estimation accuracy and reliable ability to cope with sudden changes, without significantly increasing the calculation time, indicating the correctness of the algorithm and its great application value in quadruped robot system.

Smooth Variable Structure Filter

This article is addressed to the topic of robust state estimation of uncertain nonlinear systems. In particular, the smooth variable structure filter (SVSF) and its relation to the Kalman filter is studied. An adaptive Kalman filter is obtained from the SVSF approach by replacing the gain of the original filter. Boundedness of the estimation error of the adaptive filter is proven. The SVSF approach and the adaptive Kalman filter achieve improved robustness against model uncertainties if filter parameters are suitably optimized. Therefore, a parameter optimization process is developed and the estimation performance is studied.

Fuzzy Adaptive

In this chapter, a novel fuzzy adaptive Kalman filter for state estimation of a permanent magnet synchronous motor is proposed. The fuzzy set theory is used as a tool to perform on-line modification of the covariance matrices, adjusting the EKF and UKF parameters according to estimation reliability of the currents in the two windings of the rotor, position, and velocity for a two-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor. Also, the methodology uses the maximum likelihood technique, where the difference between the theoretical covariance and the measured covariance is defined as an approximation considering the average of a moving estimation window. This difference is performed continually and used to dynamically update the covariance matrices, aiming to obtain an efficient estimation. The membership functions are optimized to adjust the covariance matrices so that the error variation is minimal. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency and applicability of the proposed methodology.
