    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating adapted tuning parameters for target slip estimation, the parameters being adapted to real-time road surface conditions. The method includes, receiving, from a road surface detection module, a road surface condition, Sn, from among N road surface conditions S, range of friction, mu, and a confidence level, Ci. The method receives sensor system data from a sensor system, and determines, as a function of Sn, range of mu, and Ci, initial estimator values including an estimated initial frictional force {circumflex over (Θ)}(0), an initial gain, P0, and an initial projected range of signal bounds, (Pu) and (Pl). The method tunes (i.e., adapts) the initial estimator values to generate therefrom adapted tuning parameters based on received inputs. The method outputs adapted tuning parameters.

    Abstract: A vehicle includes a system and method of modeling and controlling a traction of a wheel of the vehicle. The system includes an observer, a predictive controller and an online solver. The observer receives a dynamic model parameter of the wheel and determines an estimate of a wheel velocity and an uncertainty in the wheel velocity using a non-linear model of the wheel. The predictive controller determines an average gain and differential gain from the estimate of the wheel velocity and the uncertainty in the wheel velocity. The online solver calculates a motor torque and a wheel brake torque for increasing the traction of the wheel with a road based on the average gain and the differential gain. The motor torque and the wheel brake torque are applied at the vehicle.

    Abstract: A method for using a closed-loop control system to control an autonomous system is disclosed, the closed-loop control system comprising an explicit Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) framework. The method (i) computes operation parameters for the autonomous system using the closed-loop control system, the output of the explicit NMPC framework comprising the operation parameters; (ii) modifies the output of the explicit NMPC framework to consider unmeasured system states, unknown system model values, and external disturbances, to create modified operation parameters, using an extended high-gain observer (EHGO) to estimate the unmeasured system states and the external disturbances and a dynamic inverter to compute values of unknown input coefficients for a system model of the autonomous system; (iii) generates a modified output signal including the modified operation parameters; and (iv) transmits the modified output signal to control operation of the autonomous system using the modified operation parameters.

    Abstract: An automotive vehicle includes an actuator configured to control vehicle acceleration, steering, or braking. The vehicle additionally includes at least one sensor configured to detect an object in the vicinity of the vehicle. The vehicle further includes at least one controller configured to automatically control the actuator according to an automated driving system algorithm. The at least one controller is configured to define a first vehicle route, detect at least one object in the vicinity of the vehicle; calculate a probabilistic forecast of a future location of the at least one detected object, define a second vehicle route in response to the probabilistic forecast indicating proximity of the at least one detected object to the first route, and to control the actuator to execute the second vehicle route.
