where is the chassis sideslip angle estimated by LAO. However, the moment of vehicle inertia J and used in (16) are
difficult to measure with high accuracy. The low-cost yaw
rate sensor is available, but yaw rate accelerations sensor is
expensive. Then, the time differentiation of the yaw rate may be
calculated, but the sensor noise is emphasized in the controller.
This is confirmed by experiments shown in the latter part. To
improve this issue, this paper proposes the parameter identification method based on lateral motion equation (7) instead of (8)

where and n are damping ratio and natural angular frequency, respectively. By selecting , n appropriately, it is possible to adjust sensitivity of drivers perception against change
of road condition such as oscillation due to Shimmy effect. The
whole control system of vehicle is summarized in Fig. 7. As
shown in this figure, the impedance control is employed in the
steering wheel actuator, and adaptive control for virtual steering
characteristics is applied to the front-wheels actuator. These
two controllers are realized separately by using Steer-by-Wire
system. This is an important point in the proposed approach.
V. S IMULATION
To verify the validity of the proposed estimation method
of vehicle parameters and control method for virtual steering
characteristics, two kinds of simulation are carried out. One is
the parameter identification of vehicle. The other is a realization
of the desired steering characteristics. The parameters and gains
used in simulation are summarized in Table II.
A. Estimation of Vehicle Parameters
First, the proposed parameter identification method is compared to the following two conventional methods, LAO in
which vehicle parameters are constant and LAO using Cf , Cr
based on yaw moment equation. Here, the drivers input ures in
each case is shown in Fig. 8(a). In this figure, the upper motor
response ures and the lower motor response lres well coincide
with ures by the disturbance observer-based motor control.
Here, the velocity of vehicle V is set as 5 m/s. The cornering
stiffness Cf , Cr identified by the conventional approach and the
proposed method are shown in Fig. 8(b) and (c), respectively.
This result shows that the proposed method based on (7) as
well as the conventional approach based on (8) estimates the
