The main control objective of an Antilock Braking System (ABS) is to increase the tractive forces between wheel and road surface by keeping the wheel slip at the peak value of μ – λ curve. Conventionally, it is assumed that optimal wheel slip is constant. In this paper, a grey sliding mode controller is proposed to regulate optimal wheel slip depending on the vehicle forward velocity. ABS exhibits strongly nonlinear and uncertain characteristics. To overcome these difficulties, robust control methods should be employed. The concept of grey system theory, which has a certain prediction capability, offers an alternative approach to conventional control methods. The proposed controller anticipates the upcoming values of wheel slip and optimal wheel slip, and takes the necessary action to keep wheel slip at the desired value. The control algorithm is applied to a quarter vehicle model, and it is verified through simulations indicating fast convergence and good performance of the designed controller.

As an important device of the aircraft landing system, the antilock braking system (ABS) has a function to avoid aircraft wheels self-locking. To deal with the strong nonlinear characteristics, complex nonlinear control schemes are applied in ABS. However, none of existing control schemes focus on the braking operating status, which directly reflects wheels self-locking degree. In this paper, the braking operating status region is divided into three regions: the healthy region, the light slip region, and the deep slip region. An ABLF-based wheel slip controller is proposed for ABS to constrain the braking system operating status in the healthy region and the light slip region. Therefore the ABS will be prevented from operating in the deep slip region. Under the proposed control scheme, self-locking is avoided completely and zero steady state error tracking of the wheel optimal slip ratio is implemented. The Hardware-In-Loop (HIL) experiments have validated the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Combined regenerative and antilock braking in electric/hybrid-electric vehicles provides higher safety in addition to an energy storing capability. Development of a control law for this type of braking system is a challenging task. The antilock braking system (ABS) uses a control strategy to maintain the wheel slip within a predefined range. A sliding mode controller (SMC) for ABS is developed to maintain the optimal slip value. The braking of the vehicle, performed by using both regenerative and antilock braking, is based on an algorithm that decides how to distribute the braking force between the regenerative braking and the antilock braking in emergency/panic braking situations as well as in normal city driving conditions. Detailed bond graph models of a quarter car and four-wheeled vehicles are used in this article to implement and test the control laws. It is found that with combined regenerative and antilock braking, the vehicle’s safety increases (in terms of stopping distance and manoeuvrability) and some amount of kinetic energy can be recovered and stored in the regenerative battery pack. The passenger comfort is improved when a sliding mode ABS controller is used in place of a standard ABS controller for the mechanical braking part. Moreover, the influence of load transfer on the wheels during braking was evaluated on a four-wheeled vehicle model.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to improve vehicles’ brake stability, the problem of constraint control for an antilock braking system (ABS) with asymmetric slip ratio constraints is concerned. A nonlinear control method based on barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is proposed not only to track the optimal slip ratio but also to guarantee no violation on slip ratio constraints. Design/methodology/approach A quarter vehicle braking model and Burckhardt’s tire model are considered. The asymmetric BLF is introduced into the controller for solving asymmetric slip ratio constraint problems. Findings The proposed controller can implement ABS zero steady-state error tracking of the optimal wheel slip ratio and make slip ratio constraints flexible for various runway surfaces and runway transitions. Simulation and experimental results show that the control scheme can guarantee no violation on slip ratio constraints and avoid self-locking. Originality/value The slip rate equation with uncertainties is established, and BLF is introduced into the design process of the constrained controller to realize the slip rate constrained control.

An antilock braking system (ABS) is one of the most important components in a road vehicle, which provides active protection during braking, to prevent the wheels from locking-up and achieve handling stability and steerability. The all-electric ABS without any hydraulic components is a potential candidate for electric vehicles. To demonstrate and examine the all-electric ABS algorithms, this article proposes a single-wheel all-electric ABS test bench, which mainly includes the vehicle wheel, the roller, the flywheels, and the electromechanical brake. To simulate dynamic operation of a real vehicle’s wheel, the kinetic energy of the total rotary components in the bench is designed to match the quarter of the one of a commercial car. The vertical force to the wheel is adjustable. The tire-roller contact simulates the real tire-road contact. The roller’s circumferential velocity represents the longitudinal vehicle velocity. The design and analysis of the proposed bench are described in detail. For the developed prototype, the rated clamping force of the electromechanical brake is 11 kN, the maximum vertical force to the wheel reaches 300 kg, and the maximum roller (vehicle) velocity reaches 100 km/h. The measurable bandwidth of the wheel speed is 4 Hz–2 kHz and the motor speed is 2.5 Hz–50 kHz. The measured results including the roller (vehicle) velocity, the wheel velocity, and the wheel slip are satisfactory. This article offers the effective tools to verify all-electric ABS algorithms in a laboratory, hence saving time and cost for the subsequent test on a real road.
