Estimating the Mu Slip Curve via Extended Kalman Filtering
Automated braking system design relies on knowledge of how tire friction varies with the depth of the skid. This knowledge is captured empirically in the tire mu slip curve. An extended Kalman filter is designed to fit test data to the mu slip curve. An animation of the Kalman filter's convergence is presented. | About the Author
