Abstract:

The total vehicle mass is an important parameter for both power and safety control of the vehicle, especially for heavy-duty trucks. Based on the theory of vehicle longitudinal dynamics, a method for estimating the total vehicle mass according to the vehicle operating conditions is proposed in this paper. Firstly, under acceleration conditions, engine torque and longitudinal acceleration are obtained through CAN bus, using the Kalman filter algorithm (KF) to estimate the total vehicle mass. Then the estimated mass is used to identify the unknown parameters. At constant speed, the mass is estimated based on the identified unknown parameters and a simplified vehicle longitudinal dynamics model. The effectiveness of the method is verified through joint simulation suing the estimator constructed by TruckSim/Simulink. By the vehicle road test, the results show that the method is able to estimate the total vehicle mass more accurately under different operating conditions.
