Abstract

Vehicle yaw rate is a key parameter required for various active stability control systems. Accurate yaw rate information may be obtained from the fusion of some on-vehicle sensors and GPS data. In this study, the closed-form expression of the yaw rate-written as a function of front wheel rolling speeds and steering angle-was derived via kinematic analysis of a planar four-wheel vehicle on the assumption of no longitudinal slip at the both front tires. The obtained analytical solution was primarily verified by computational simulation. In terms of implementation, the 1:10th scaled rear-wheel-drive vehicle was modified so that the front wheel rolling speeds and the steering angle could be measured. An inertial measurement unit was also installed to provide the directly measured yaw rate used for validation. Preliminary experiment was done on some extremely random sideslip maneuvers beneath the global positioning using four recording cameras. Comparing with the vision-based and the gyro-based references, the vehicle yaw rate could be well approximated at any slip condition without requiring integration or vehicle and tire models. The proposed cost-effective estimation strategy using only on-vehicle sensors could be used as an alternative way to enhance performance of the GPS-based yaw rate estimation system while the GPS signal is unavailable.
