The invention discloses a vehicle sideslip angle
estimation method based on a second-order sliding-mode observer and belongs to the field of
vehicle control. The vehicle sideslip angle
estimation method comprises steps as follows: step 1, a vehicle state is detected by a sensor, and specifically, the velocity vx of a running longitudinal wheel of the vehicle is detected by a velocity sensor; the
yaw velocity
omega in the vehicle running process is detected by a
yaw velocity sensor; a front wheel rotating angle
delta in the vehicle running process is detected by a
steering wheel angle sensor; step 2, the second-order sliding-mode observer is designed, the step 2 comprises a step 2.1 and a step 2.2, in the step 2.1, a
kinetic model of a vehicle
system is established firstly, and in the step 2.2, the second-order sliding-mode observer is designed according to the
kinetic model of the vehicle; step 3, the information about the vehicle state detected in the step 1 is transmitted to the second-order sliding-mode observer designed in the step 2, and a sideslip angle is obtained through operation
estimation. A two-degree-of-freedom
kinetic model of the vehicle is used, the designed observer has a fractional power item, the steady-state error can be reduced, the observer has a
sign function item, and the robustness of the
system can be improved.
