The active safety systems, such as Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Traction Control System (TCS), have been used widely in the modern production auto-mobile. These safety control systems function well only when the vehicle motion information is known. To achieve this purpose, various sensors are equipped in the production cars in order to detect vehicle motion information like yaw, wheel velocities and accelerations. However some key variables of the vehicle dynamic and road conditions, such as the sideslip angle, the tire road forces and the tire road friction coefficient are difficult to measure directly for technology or economic reasons. A new observer which uses the unscented Kalman filter to estimate simultaneously the sideslip angle, lateral tire road forces and the tire road friction coefficient has been proposed in this paper. The advantage of this observer is that no additional sensors is needed when the ESP has been installed in the auto-mobile. The performance of the proposed observer is demonstrated through the Chicane test.
