Real-time knowledge of the vehicle mass is valuable for several applications, mainly: active safety systems design and energy consumption optimization. This work describes a novel strategy for mass estimation in static and dynamic conditions. First, when the vehicle is powered-up, an initial estimation is given by observing the variations of one suspension deflection sensor mounted on the rear. Th...
