Abstract

Data-driven gray-box models for vehicle control often fail to generalize across distinct physical regimes. This study tackles the critical, yet often-overlooked, challenge of robustly blending model parameters between these regimes. The vehicle’s “expert poles” are defined using physically distinct maneuvers (steady state vs. transient). A three-way benchmark is used to prove that the blending method is more critical than the concept itself. Three architectures are compared: (1) a baseline single-parameter “Static Model”, (2) a common literature “Heuristic Model” that blends using lateral acceleration (<!-- MathType@Translator@5@5@MathML2 (no namespace).tdl@MathML 2.0 (no namespace)@ -->
