Abstract
Provided is a processor-implemented method and a processor in a vehicle for estimating the value of a quantity for which a physical sensor is not available for measurement. The method includes: receiving a plurality of measured signals representing values of measurable variables; computing, in real-time, time derivatives of the measured signals; and applying a trained feedforward neural network, in real-time, to estimate values for a plurality of unmeasurable variables, the unmeasurable variables being variables that are unmeasurable in real-time, the feedforward neural network having been trained using test data containing time derivatives of values for the measurable variables and values for the unmeasurable variables; wherein the vehicle uses the estimated values for the unmeasurable variables for vehicle operation.
