Abstract:

In order to realize the estimation of relative suspension speed and absolute speed of sprung mass at varying vehicle speed, and reduce the number of on-board sensors at the same time, a simplified model of vehicle suspension system with vertical wheel velocity as input is constructed without considering wheel dynamics. A method based on speed-adaptive wheelbase preview and Kalman filter algorithm is designed to estimate the relative speed of suspension and absolute speed of sprung mass of the vehicle. The simulation results show that the proposed method can accurately estimate the relative suspension speed and sprung absolute speed of vehicles traveling at variable speed through low-frequency sinusoidal road, speed bumps, pits and typical random road, and the application of speed adaptive wheelbase preview reduces the number of sensors used.

Key words: suspension, Kalman filtering, wheelbase preview, state estimation
