As the well-known difficulties are that feedback signals are not easy and economical measurement in practice for active control, this paper presents a study of state estimation for active control of independently rotating wheels (IRW) based on observers. The reduced-order observer and high-order sliding mode observer are used to provide reliable and accurate estimations of the wheel pair state and track curvature using practical sensors. This proposed method uses less sensors than the one of previous studies. Furthermore, lateral accelerator and yaw velocity sensors (gyros) are economical and available for active steering and stability control system to obtain the required feedback signals. The wheels’ relative rotational speed, track curvature and yaw angle of wheelsets are the feedback signals for IRW active control approach. Computer simulations are used to verify the effectiveness of proposed methods and assess control performance in stability and negotiation.
