Vehicle mass is one of the most critical parameters in the vehicle control system, based on the discrete vehicle longitudinal dynamic equation after the forward Euler approximation, non‐linear particle filter is introduced to estimate the vehicle mass intelligently, and it gains a competitive advantage that statistical characteristics of noise and uncertainties in the system are not necessary to be known or supposed in advance. As a sort of recursive, Bayesian state estimator, vehicle mass is regarded as a constant state variable to constitute the discrete state‐space equation, motor torque is selected as input signal, and the measurable vehicle speed is selected to constitute the observation equation, parameters such as rolling resistance coefficient, air drag coefficient and road slop are considered as high‐power noise and uncertainties. The performance of the proposed vehicle mass estimator is tested by several groups of load and the results demonstrate that the output of the particle filter based vehicle mass estimator can converge to the real value and keep steady.
