In this project an alternative velocity-signal for Scania’s heavy-duty vehicles was investigated. The current velocity estimation is based on wheel-encoders obtained from other control-units like ABS- and EBSsystems. Furthermore the wheel-encoders may have poor properties at both high and low velocites. Because the velocity is important for the automatic manual gear-switching sequence, Opticruise used in Scania transmission management system (TMS), an alternative velocity estimation based only on the internal signals in the TMS and GPS is desirable. In this project the proposed algorithm utilizes sensor-fusion of a GPS, the rotational-velocity from the Output-shaft and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). An external 6-axis IMU, consisting o...
