Abstract

For state and parameter estimation in vehicles, Kalman filters, especially nonlinear extensions like the extended Kalman filter (EKF) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF), are very common. However, the estimation accuracy is highly dependent on the quality of the model used in the process update of the Kalman filter. Model errors can result from non-modeled dynamics that are either unknown or very difficult to describe. In recent years data-driven approaches for state estimation are the subject of research with promising results in estimation accuracy and reduced implementation effort. In this work, both a model-based method with an UKF and a data-driven approach based on recurrent neural networks (RNN) are implemented and combined to two hybrid methods for the application of state and parameter estimation in a truck-semitrailer for three different loading conditions. Hybrid estimation architectures promise to combine the advantages of model-based and data-driven methods to achieve better estimation accuracy than their standalone components. To the best knowledge of the authors, this work is the first to extend the field of hybrid state estimation to semitrailers estimating the truck steering angle, articulation angle, and the trailer's lateral and vertical tire forces. Four estimation architectures (an UKF, one purely data-driven method, and two hybrid methods) are optimized and compared to each other regarding estimation accuracy. The UKF is optimized with a particle swarm optimization (PSO) while the hyperparameters of the data-driven method are tuned with the asynchronous successive halving algorithm (ASHA) to result in a fair comparison. All methods are developed and compared based on an experimental data set from a test vehicle.
