As one feasible solution of brake-by-wire systems, electro-hydraulic brake system has been made available into production recently. Electro-hydraulic brake system must work cooperatively with the hydraulic control unit of anti-lock braking system. Due to the mechanical configuration involving electric motor + reduction gear, the electro-hydraulic brake system could be stiffer in contrast to a conventional vacuum booster. That is to say, higher pressure peaks and pressure oscillation could occur during an active anti-lock braking system control. Actually, however, electro-hydraulic brake system and anti-lock braking system are produced by different suppliers considering brake systems already in production. Limited signals and operations of anti-lock braking system could be provided to the supplier of electro-hydraulic brake system. In this work, a master cylinder pressure reduction logic is designed based on speed servo system for active pressure modulation of electro-hydraulic brake system under the anti-lock braking system–triggered situation. The pressure reduction logic comprises of model-based friction compensation, feedforward and double closed-loop feedback control. The pressure closed-loop is designed as the outer loop, and the motor rotation speed closed-loop is drawn into the inner loop of feedback control. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is validated by vehicle experiment in typical braking situations. The results show that the controller remains stable against parameter uncertainties in extreme condition such as low temperature and mismatch of friction model. In contrast to the previous methods, the comparison results display the improved dynamic cooperative performance of electro-hydraulic brake system and anti-lock braking system and robustness.

Aluminium alloys used in automobile brake master cylinder pistons wear by corrosion due to contamination and chemical reaction of the contacting brake fluid. The study investigates the corrosion of electroless-nickel (EN) deposition enhanced cast aluminium alloy master cylinder piston surfaces immersed in hydraulic brake oil. Cast specimens were produced from the as-received wrought A6061 alloy scrap by sand casting. EN plated as-received and cast aluminium alloys specimens were immersed fully in brake oil for 1680 hours and corrosion rates were determined every 24 hours. Test samples were characterised using the hardness tester, atomic absorption spectrometer, metallurgical photo-microscope, x-ray diffractometer; and SEM with EDX attachment. Both surfaces corroded in the order of electroless-nickel plated cast aluminium alloy (ENCA) < electroless-nickel plated as-received aluminium alloy (ENAA) at 0.0235 and 0.0251 rates (mg/mm2/y) results which showed improvement in the corrosion resistance with significant influence of electroless-nickel coating in reducing corrosion rates of aluminium alloy in brake oil.

Vibration-based continuous monitoring system for fault diagnosis of automobile hydraulic brake system is presented in this study. This study uses a machine learning approach for the fault diagnosis study. A hydraulic brake system test rig was fabricated. The vibration signals were acquired from the brake system under different simulated fault conditions using a piezoelectric transducer. The histogram features were extracted from the acquired vibration signals. The feature selection process was carried out using a decision tree. The selected features were classified using fuzzy unordered rule induction algorithm ( FURIA ) and Repeated Incremental Pruning to Produce Error Reduction ( RIPPER ) algorithm. The classification results of both algorithms for fault diagnosis of a hydraulic brake system were presented. Compared to RIPPER and J48 decision tree, the FURIA performs better and produced 98.73 % as the classification accuracy.

Quick response and rheological properties as a function of magnetic field are well known features of MR fluids which inspire their usage as brake materials. Controllable torque and minimum weight of brake system are the deciding functions based on which the viability of the MR brake against the conventional hydraulic brake system can be judged. The aim of this study is to optimize a multi-disk magneto-rheological brake system considering torque and weight as objective functions and geometric dimensions of conventional hydraulic brake as constraints. The electric current accounting magnetic saturation, MR gap, number of disk, thickness of disk, and outer diameter of disk have been considered as design variables. To model the behavior of MR Fluid, Bingham and Herschel Bulkley models have been compared. To implement these models in estimating the braking torque a modification in shear rate dependent component has been proposed. The overall design of MR brake has been optimized using a hybrid (Genetic algorithm plus gradient based) optimization scheme of MATLAB software.

This article highlights the fact that engineers who design and test anti-lock brake systems (ABS) have been trying to come up with ways to minimize the noise and vibration that drivers hear and feel when they stomp on the brake pedals. The ABS engineers want drivers to do during a panic stop is to let their feet off the brakes. According to the engineers, braking should be the concern, because the less time the driver worries about stopping the car, the more time there is to concentrate on steering it. The mechanical components in both systems are functionally identical, consisting of a brake pedal, a master cylinder and booster, hydraulic lines and fluid, wheel calipers, brake pads, and rotors. In fact, unless the system is actuated by hard braking, ABS acts just like an ordinary disc brake system. Engine noise would only mask the ABS noise reaching the binaural head, which sits inside the passenger compartment where a driver would normally be.

This paper presents an active safety device for skid control of small electric vehicles with in-wheel motors. Due to the space limitation on the driving tire, a mechanical brake system was installed rather than hydraulic brake system. For the same reason, anti-lock brake system (ABS) that is a basic skid control method cannot be installed on the driving tire. During braking on icy road or emergency braking, the tire will be locked and the vehicle is skidding. To prevent tire lock-up and vehicle from skidding, we proposed the combination of ABS and regenerative brake timing control. The hydraulic unit of ABS is installed on the non-driving tire while the in-wheel motors on the driving tire will be an actuator of ABS to control the regenerative braking force. The performance of the ABS and regenerative brake timing control on the emergency braking situation is measured by the simulation. The simulation result shows that the combination of ABS and regenerative brake timing control can prevent tire lock-up and vehicle from skidding.
