METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTION OF ROLL SENSOR BIAS
A roll sensor is configured to detect a first roll angle at a corresponding first point of a path plan of a vehicle, or its implement, based on the estimated current position. A roll sensor is configured to detect a second roll angle at a corresponding second point of a path plan of a vehicle, or its implement, based on the estimated current position. A data processor is configured to determine a roll angle delta or difference between the first roll angle and the second roll angle. If the roll angle delta is greater than a reference roll value, the roll angle delta is evaluated over an evaluation period. For example, if the roll angle is greater than the reference roll value for equal to or greater than a target percentage or target ratio for the evaluation period, the data processor is configured to designate the roll angle sensor for possible recalibration.
VEHICLE CONTROLLER
A vehicle controller for a vehicle including a drive source including an electric motor includes: a sense-of-beating producer configured to acquire a total required torque which is a required torque of the entire vehicle and configured to derive a total target torque corresponding to the total required torque as applied to a predetermined engine combustion cycle; and a target motor torque deriver configured to, based on the total target torque, derive a target motor torque for torque control of the electric motor. The vehicle controller controls the electric motor based on the target motor torque.

CAMERA-BASED ENHANCEMENT OF VEHICLE KINEMATIC STATE ESTIMATION
Methods and systems implemented in a vehicle involve obtaining a single camera image from a camera arranged on the vehicle. The image indicates a heading angle Ψ.sub.0 between a vehicle heading x and a tangent line that is tangential to road curvature of a road on which the vehicle is traveling and also indicates a perpendicular distance y.sub.0 from a center of the vehicle to the tangent line. An exemplary method includes obtaining two or more inputs from two or more vehicle sensors, and estimating kinematic states of the vehicle based on applying a Kalman filter to the single camera image and the two or more inputs to solve kinematic equations. The kinematic states include roll angle and pitch angle of the vehicle.
