Abstract

This paper deals with the automated design of a Virtual Sensor used to estimate the vehicle planar motion states and the axle lateral forces. It is proposed to substitute the cumbersome and non-trivial manual task of tuning a Kalman Filter by using meta-heuristic optimization, and in particular, employing the contrast-based Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm (c-FOA). c-FOA is a recently developed powerful Swarm Intelligence meta-heuristic. The optimized state estimator is implemented in the vehicle dynamics simulation software IPG – CarMaker® and its performance is evaluated under aggressive maneuvers. Results are compared to those obtained with a filter tuned manually in previous stages of this research using a systematic trial and error method.
