VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME USING ESTIMATED WEIGHT

A method for estimating the weight of and controlling a vehicle may include determining, based on a first weight estimation being applied to vehicle data, first estimated weight information of the vehicle. The first weight estimation may be based on recursive least squares (RLS) associated with a first forgetting factor. The method may further include determining, based on a second weight estimation being applied to the vehicle data, second estimated weight information of the vehicle. The second weight estimation may be based on RLS associated with a second forgetting factor. The method may further include determining, based on the first and second estimated weight information, a third forgetting factor for RLS of a third weight estimation; determining, based on the third weight estimation being applied to the vehicle data, third estimated weight information of the vehicle; and controlling, based on the third estimated weight information, the vehicle.
