    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling an autonomous vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: A method of controlling an autonomous vehicle, comprising: receiving, by a processor, a first set of data obtained from an inertial measurement unit of the vehicle; receiving, by the processor, a second set of data obtained from a global positioning system of the vehicle; receiving, by the processor, a third set of data obtained from a camera of the vehicle; determining, by the processor, at least two vehicle states relative to markings of a lane by processing the first set of data, the second set of data, and the third set of data as measurement with an extended Kalman filter; and controlling, by the processor, the vehicle based on the at least two vehicle states.

    Abstract: A traction control module includes a sensor/estimation module configured to output wheel stability data based on a plurality of wheel condition inputs and a wheel stability monitoring module configured to calculate a plurality of wheel stability predictors based on the wheel stability data. Each of the wheel stability predictors is independently indicative of a wheel slip condition. The traction control module further includes a wheel stability data fusion module configured to receive each of the plurality of wheel stability predictors, combine selected wheel stability predictors from the plurality of wheel stability predictors to generate combinations of the wheel stability predictors, and selectively output a torque reduction request based on the combinations of the wheel stability predictors.

    Abstract: A vehicle including a Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is described. Operating the vehicle includes determining, via the GPS sensor, first parameters associated with a velocity, a position, and a course, and determining, via the IMU, second parameters associated with acceleration and angular velocity. Roll and pitch parameters are determined based upon the first and second parameters. A first vehicle velocity vector is determined based upon the roll and pitch parameters, the first parameters, and the second parameters; and a second vehicle velocity vector is determined based upon the roll and pitch parameters, road surface friction coefficient, angular velocity, road wheel angles and the first vehicle velocity vector. A final vehicle velocity vector is determined based upon fusion of the first and second vehicle velocity vectors. The vehicle is controlled based upon the final vehicle velocity vector.
