ABSTRACT:
A vehicle chassis system control for use in a vehicle with a first suspension that induces a phase shift on body motion components of wheel speed sensor signals from a first set of wheel speed sensors connected to a first set of wheels mounted to the first suspension, comprising the steps of: sensing first rotational velocities of the first set of wheels using the first set of wheel speed sensors; sensing second rotational velocities of a second set of wheels mounted to a second suspension using a second set of wheel speed sensors; estimating at least one modal velocity of a body of the vehicle responsive to the first and second rotational velocities, wherein the step of estimating comprises the sub-steps of: (a) imposing a relative phase shift between the first and second rotational velocities to compensate for the phase shift induced by the first suspension, (b) transforming the relative phase shifted first and second rotational velocities to a signal indicative of a modal velocity of the body of the vehicle using a comer to body modal transform, and (c) filtering at least one member of a set comprising (i) the first and second rotational velocities and (ii) the signal indicative of the modal velocity of the body of the vehicle, to isolate body frequency components of said at least one member; determining a chassis system control command responsive to the estimation; and applying the chassis system control command to a chassis system actuator to control the chassis system responsive to the estimation.
