Abbreviations

Lateral tire forces:

They are responsible to hold on the vehicle during a turn.

Longitudinal tire forces:

They are responsible to accelerate/brake the vehicle.

Observer or estimator:

It models a real system in order to provide an estimate of its internal state, given measurements of the input and output of the real system.

Sideslip angle:

It is the angle between the velocity heading and the true heading of the vehicle.

Tire forces:

The developed forces (longitudinal and lateral) are function of tire properties (material, tread pattern, tread depth, profile, etc.), the normal load on the tire, and the velocities experienced by the tire.

Vehicle control systems:

They provide commands and instructions to control the movements of the vehicle in order to maintain stability and enhance passengers security and comfort.

Vehicle dynamics:

It includes analytical and experimental technology used to study and understand the dynamical responses of a vehicle in various in-motion situations.

Vertical (normal) tire forces:

They are responsible to support the weight of the vehicle.
