Autonomous Vehicle Kinematics and Dynamics Synthesis for Sideslip Angle Estimation Based on Consensus Kalman Filter
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An autonomous vehicle sideslip angle estimation algorithm is proposed based on consensus and vehicle kinematics/ dynamics synthesis. Based on the velocity error measurements between the reduced Inertial Navigation System (R-INS) and the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), a velocity-based Kalman filter is formalized to estimate the velocity errors, attitude errors, and gyro bias errors of the R-INS. The observability issue of the heading error, which affects sideslip estimation, is analyzed. Then, to enhance the observability and improve the estimation accuracy of the heading error under normal driving conditions, a consensus Kalman information filter is developed to synthesize the vehicle kinematics and dynamics and estimate the heading error. Within the developed consensus framework, one node augments a novel heading error measurement from a linear vehicle-dynamic-based sideslip estimator and another node adopts the heading error from the GNSS course. Next, based on the vehicle lateral excitation level, a weighting scheme is proposed to fuse the error state estimates from the velocity-based and consensus Kalman state observers. The stability of the proposed state observers is also investigated. Comprehensive experimental studies, including critical slalom, slight/normal double lane change, and normal driving maneuvers, were conducted to verify the proposed estimation framework; they confirm the reliability and accuracy of the estimator in various automated driving conditions even in comparison with state-of-the-art methods that utilize more measurements (dual-antenna GNSS). Also, this novel multisensor framework is extendable to leverage speed information from other sensors such as cameras and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) to increase reliability and accuracy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
