A Distributed Sensing System for Vehicles State Estimation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents the design of a distributed sensing system that uses an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to fuse measurements, so that automotive vehicle states can be estimated for use by a Semi-active Suspension control system. To improve ride comfort and handling quality, relative displacements and velocities of suspension systems are estimated. To control the stability of vehicles, roll, yaw, and pitch must also be determined. The designed (EKF) uses easily accessible measurements such as accelerations and body's angular velocities. These measurements are provided by 8 accelerometers and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The accelerometers are strategically mounted on the two ends of each individual shock absorber (damper). The IMU was mounted near the vehicle's center of gravity. Computer simulations and experiments were conducted for full vehicle state estimation of a 1993 Toyota Tercel equipped with the above mentioned sensor suite. Results show that except relative displacements, all states of the automobile's semi-active suspension systems can be estimated using this set of sensors. The designed EKF works well despite not knowing accurate information about road inputs, external disturbances and car characteristics such as moments of inertia, mass, and equivalent spring and damping coefficients. Both simulation results and experimental results show the effectiveness of the designed EKF in estimating the required states.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
