1. A system for estimating a current mass of a vehicle, comprising:
a communication interface to receive data from a plurality of vehicle systems;
a processor configured to
determine whether a trailer is attached to the vehicle;
compute an estimate of the static mass of the vehicle and the trailer;
determine whether a gating condition is met based on at least one of an acceleration measurement and a current net force measurement;
generating a computed dynamic mass of the vehicle and the trailer if the gating condition is met by performing a fusion of an estimate of dynamic mass and the static mass; and
determine to use one of (i) the computed dynamic mass, or (ii) the static mass as the current estimated mass of the vehicle and the trailer.
