The slope angle is one of the most influential factors which limit the control performance and the energy efficiency of not only internal-combustion engine vehicles but also electrified vehicles such as hybrid vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. However, measuring the slope angle is not easy because slope sensors are not sufficiently accurate and they are too expensive to implement in vehicles. In this study, the climbing angle as well as the slope angle are considered in the presence of yawing motion on a sloping road, and both angles are estimated. In order to describe the combined vehicle motions when turning on a sloping road, a new three-dimensional dynamics model is proposed including the heading angle with respect to the road slope orientation. The extended Kalman filter is designed on the basis of the three-dimensional dynamics model on a sloping road, and the key parameters for the sloping road are updated using the geometry relationship. The proposed estimation method is evaluated using simulations and field tests with a hybrid electric vehicle.
