Abstract
A method determines the total mass of an automotive vehicle on the basis of data of a communication network and parameters of the vehicle, in which an estimation of the total laden mass (mv,est) of the vehicle, of the speed of the vehicle (vest) and of the slope of the road (αest) is determined at an instant (k) by applying the fundamental equation of dynamics and as a function of the values of the total mass of the vehicle, of the speed of the vehicle and of the slope of the road at a previous instant (k−1).
