On the estimation of longitudinal dynamics of powered two-wheeled vehicles

A robust observer is presented in this paper to estimate the longitudinal tire-road forces, the engine and braking torques for powered two-wheeled vehicles. A study of detectability of the longitudinal dynamics is presented and the tire-road longitudinal forces are estimated using an unknown input observer without any knowledge of tire parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown through simulation results.
