Abstract
Nonlinear state estimation remains a pivotal challenge in control systems and signal processing, particularly under uncertainty, noise, and dynamic environmental conditions. This research proposes an integrated framework that combines nonlinear Kalman filtering with smooth variable structure filter (SVSF) techniques to enhance estimation accuracy and robustness in complex systems. The framework leverages the adaptive characteristics of SVSF to mitigate nonlinearities and uncertainties while maintaining the optimality properties of Kalman filters. Analytical modeling, simulation studies, and comparative evaluation demonstrate significant improvements in convergence speed, noise resilience, and tracking performance. The proposed approach offers a versatile methodology for applications in autonomous vehicles, multi-target tracking, and intelligent transportation systems, with measurable enhancements over conventional nonlinear filtering strategies (Ahmed et al., 2016; Bar-Shalom et al., 1995).
