102 Road curvature estimation and automotive target state estimation system US10620749 2003-07-15 US07034742B2 2006-04-25 Shan Cong; Shi Shen; Lang Hong
A first Kalman filter estimates true measures of yaw rate and vehicle speed from associated noisy measures thereof generated by respective sensors in a host vehicle, and a second Kalman filter estimates therefrom parameters of a clothoid model of road curvature. Measures of range, range rate, and azimuth angle from a target state estimation subsystem, e.g. a radar system, are processed by an extended Kalman filter to provide an unconstrained estimate of the state of a target vehicle. Associated road constrained target state estimates are generated for one or more roadway lanes, and are compared—either individually or in combination—with the unconstrained estimate. If a constrained target state estimate corresponds to the unconstrained estimate, then the state of the target vehicle is generated by fusing the unconstrained and constrained estimates; and otherwise is given by the unconstrained estimate alone.

106 Road curvature estimation system US11022265 2004-12-24 US20050225477A1 2005-10-13 Shan Cong; Shi Shen; Lang Hong
A processor using a first Kalman filter estimates a host vehicle state from speed and yaw rate, the latter of which may be from a yaw rate sensor if speed is greater than a threshold, and, if less, from a steer angle sensor and speed. Road curvature parameters are estimated from a curve fit of a host vehicle trajectory or from a second Kalman filter for which a state variable may be responsive to a plurality of host state variables. Kalman filters may incorporate adaptive sliding windows. Curvature of a most likely road type is estimated with an interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithm using models of different road types. A road curvature fusion subsystem provides for fusing road curvature estimates from a plurality of curvature estimators using either host vehicle state, a map database responsive to vehicle location, or measurements of a target vehicle with a radar system.

A brake control apparatus is configured to suppress fluctuations in the deceleration when transferring from cooperative braking to regenerative braking or hydraulic braking. The brake control apparatus calculates a braking torque command value feed forward component for reaching a target deceleration corresponding to the master cylinder pressure according to an ideal reference model. The brake control apparatus also calculates the braking torque command value feedback component to find a base deceleration for feeding back the difference between the base deceleration and the vehicle deceleration. The brake control apparatus then calculates the braking torque command value by adding the components together. After apportioning the braking torque command value into hydraulic and regenerative braking torque command values, the brake control apparatus phase compensates the braking torque command values to match their braking response characteristic with a vehicle model having a slower response characteristic than the ideal reference model.
