Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device may identify a first forgetting factor accounting for a rate of change of vehicle uncertainty and a second forgetting factor accounting for a rate of change of crosswind estimation. The device may utilize a recursive-least-squares heuristic executed by a crosswind and vehicle uncertainty estimator and specialized with the first and second forgetting factors to determine vehicle uncertainty and crosswind estimation from driver steering inputs and crosswind disturbance inputs, the first and second forgetting factors accounting for relatively slower-changing vehicle uncertainty and relatively faster-changing crosswinds.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of crosswind estimation in a vehicle, comprising: identifying, via a vehicle processor, first and second forgetting factors accounting for rates of change of vehicle uncertainty and crosswind estimation, respectively; and utilizing a recursive-least-squares heuristic executed by a crosswind-and-vehicle-uncertainty estimator specialized with the forgetting factors to determine vehicle uncertainty and crosswind estimation from driver steering and cr…
