[1]A data acquisition (DAQ) system using consumer grade global position system (GPS) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) is designed and used to measure and record the vehicles response. The single-antenna GPS measures the vehicles track angle and speed, and the IMU measures the vehicles lateral and longitudinal acceleration and yaw rate.The GPS measurements are sampled at 5 Hz and the IMU measurements are sampled at 100 Hz. The measured data from the GPS is aligned with the IMU measurements using the time stamp. The measured IMU data is smoothed using a moving mean filter and the GPS data is splined to match the sampling rate of the IMU measurements. The processed data is then used to estimate the vehicles yaw angle, and lateral and longitudinal velocity using a cascading kinematic Kalman filter (KKF).The kinematic equations for the KKF are derived from the planar bicycle model. Using the estimated results from the KKF the linear tire model is calculated for a bicycle model. The approach was validated by modifying vehicle parameters in a simulation and on a test vehicle.Two main conclusions have been made in this study: (1) the estimated tire model can be used to quantify changes in the vehicle response due to changes in the vehicle and tire parameters; (2) the estimated results are repeatable and predict the true tire model."]},{"key":"dc:format","label":"Dc Format","values":["application/pdf"]},{"key":"dc:title","label":"Title","values":["Low-Cost Method of Estimating Vehicle Sideslip and Tire Cornering Stiffness Using Global Positioning and Inertial Measurement"]}]}],"canonical_facts":{"dc:contributor":["Armstrong, Jason","Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering"],"dc:creator":["Forte, Livio; 0000-0002-7381-1299"],"dc:date":["2019-07-30T15:11:29Z","2019","2019-05-16 03:17:05"],"dc:description":["M.S.","In this study a low-cost method of estimating the linear tire model for a road vehicle is developed, which can be used to make quantitative decisions for tire selection and vehicle modification.
