Abstract
An automotive vehicle includes an actuator configured to control vehicle steering, a sensor configured to detect a yaw rate of the vehicle, and a controller. The controller is configured to estimate a yaw rate and lateral velocity of the vehicle via a vehicle dynamics model based on a measured longitudinal velocity of the vehicle, calculated road wheel angles of the vehicle, and estimated tire slip angles of the vehicle. The controller is configured to receive a measured yaw rate from the sensor, and to calculate a difference between the measured yaw rate and the estimated yaw rate. The controller is configured to apply a model correction to the vehicle dynamics model using a PID controller based on the difference, and to estimate a vehicle position based on the estimated lateral velocity and the measured longitudinal velocity. The controller is configured to automatically control the actuator based on the vehicle position.
