  • Publication number: 20240321022
    Abstract: A vehicle state estimation method based on adaptive total variation denoising (TVD) filtering includes the following steps: step 1: collection and preprocessing of an original signal of a vehicle; step 2: noise level evaluation; step 3: Teager-Kaiser energy evaluation; step 4: optimization problem construction; and step 5: application of a filtered signal in the step 4 in the estimation of a vehicle state. The vehicle state estimation method is mainly based on the global noise level characteristic and the local intensity change characteristic of the vehicle system state data, and adaptive filtering of parameters is achieved by means of a TVD filtering method. The signal is denoised to the maximum extent, peak information of the signal is retained while the data smoothness is maintained, and then the signal is used for vehicle state estimation, working condition identification and the like.
