Abstract

This paper deals with an estimation method for sideslip angle by using an unknown disturbance observation technique in 4WS passenger car systems. Firstly, a 4WS vehicle model with 3DOF is derived under the constant velocity and same tyres properties. The vehicle dynamics is transformed into the linear state space model with considering the external disturbances. Secondly, and unknown disturbance observer is introduced and its property which estimating the states of system without any disturbance information is shown. Lastly, the estimated sideslip angle of the 4WS vehicle system is verified through numerical simulation.
