Abstract

This paper is concerned with estimation of velocity of a frictionless motion of a truck on an infinitely long straight rail. For simplicity assume that the Truck is controlled only by the throttle producing an accelerative force per unit mass. A discrete dynamic model of first order difference equation is to describe the system. Kalman filtering technique is applied to the discrete dynamic model to estimate the velocity of the Truck at any particular time. A computer programme is developed to simulate the system.
