Abstract:A numerical methodology for designing observer feedback gains based on local linearization was proposed to make employing tire models with a higher accuracy and more complicated expressions become possible. The proposed methodology was implemented by discretization of the nonlinear system in the state space and calculation of the feedback gains at a certain given number of operating points using numerical approaches. The gains at discretized operating points were fitted to the expressions with respect to state variables to facilitate realtime observation and implementations. The effectiveness and parameter variation robustness of the proposed methodology were evaluated in a highfidelity vehicle dynamics simulation environment, and the simulation results show that the proposed methodology has a high estimation accuracy and good robustness.
