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.

Based on a new type of electro-hydraulic brake system of electric vehicle, the operating principle was studied. A model of hydraulic brake system and corresponding control strategy were built with the co-simulation platform of AMESim and MATLAB. The impact factors of brake pressure change rate were analyzed theoretically. The influences of the main hydraulic parameters were analyzed through simulation, such as volume of brake fluid, type of pipe, ABS valve and brake clearance. The results provide a theoretical basis for the accurate control of wheel cylinder pressure.

Brakes are indispensable element of automobile. It takes significant factor to slow down or stop vehicle at an instant which will help to prevent an incident or accident in panic scenario. In appropriate braking or breakdown in braking system may direct devastating effect on automobile as well as traveller safety. To enhance potential of braking system condition monitoring is drastic demand in automotive field. This research predominantly concentrates towards fault diagnosis of a hydraulic brake system with the principle of vibration signal. Feature extraction, feature selection and feature classification are the key measures under machine learning approach. Feature extraction can certainly accomplished by acquiring vibration from the system. Statistical features were for the fault diagnosis of hydraulic brake system. Best first tree algorithm will pick most effective features that will differentiate the fault conditions of the brake through given train samples. Fuzzy logic was selected as a classifier. In the present study, fuzzy classifier with the best first tree rules was used to perform the classification accuracy.

Brake rotors are critical parts of the disc braking system for modern vehicles. One common failure for brake rotors is the thickness variation, which may result in unpleasant brake pulsation, vehicle vibration during braking, or eventually lead to the malfunction of the braking system. In order to improve customer satisfaction, vehicle serviceability and availability, it is necessary to develop an onboard fault detection and isolation solution. In our previous work, the vibration features of master cylinder pressure, vehicle longitudinal acceleration and wheel speed were identified as fault signatures. Based on these fault signatures, a vibration- based fault detection and isolation algorithm is developed in this work. The difference of frequency response between the braking period and the normal driving period (non-braking) is employed to improve the algorithm robustness. The experiment results demonstrate the proposed algorithm can robustly diagnose the thickness variation fault and isolate the fault to each vehicle corner.

Because of the Limitations and shortcomings of the traditional multi-disciplinary optimization methods, this paper presents a useful optimal method named Analytical Target Cascading (ATC) for braking system characteristics optimization. The deceleration and pedal sense are chosen as the design targets. Brake system is divided into 4 subsystems: pedal, vacuum booster, master cylinder, brake. The optimization results show that ATC has a high degree of accuracy.

In order to reduce fuel cost and CO2 emissions, modern spark ignition (SI) engines need to lower as much as possible fuel consumption. A crucial factor for efficiency improvement is represented by the combustion phase, which in an SI engine is controlled acting on the spark advance. This fundamental engine parameter is currently controlled in an open-loop by means of maps stored in the electronic control unit (ECU) memory: such kind of control, however, does not allow running the engine always at its best performance, since optimal combustion phase depends on many variables, like ambient conditions, fuel quality, engine aging, and wear, etc. A better choice would be represented by a closed-loop spark timing control, which may be pursued by means of combustion phase indicators, i.e., parameters mostly derived from in-cylinder pressure analysis that assume fixed reference values when the combustion phase is optimal. As documented in literature (Pestana, 1989, “Engine Control Methods Using Combustion Pressure Feedback,” SAE Paper No. 890758; BERU Pressure Sensor Glow Plug (PSG) for Diesel Engines, http://beru.federalmogul.com; Sensata CPOS SERIES—Cylinder Pressure Only Sensors, http://www.sensata.com/download/cpos.pdf; Malaczynski et al., 2013, “Ion-Sense-Based Real-Time Combustion Sensing for Closed-Loop Engine Control,” SAE Int.

Eng., 6(1), pp. 267–277; Yoshihisa et al., 1988, “MBT Control Through Individual Cylinder Pressure Detection,” SAE Paper 881779; Powell, 1993, “Engine Control Using Cylinder Pressure: Past, Present, and Future,” J. Dyn. Syst., Meas. Control, 115, pp. 343–350; Muller et al., 2000, “Combustion Pressure Based Engine Management System,” SAE Paper 2000-01-0928; Yoon et al., 2000, “Closed-Loop Control of Spark Advance and Air-Fuel Ratio in SI Engines Using Cylinder Pressure,” SAE Paper 2000-01-0933; Eriksson, 1999, “Spark Advance Modeling and Control,” Dissertation N° 580, Linkoping Studies in Science and Technology, Linköping, Sweden; Samir et al., 2011, “Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic-Based Spark Advance Control of SI Engines,” Expert Syst. Appl., 38, pp. 6916–6925; Cook et al., 1947, “Spark-Timing Control Based on Correlation of Maximum-Economy Spark Timing, Flame-Front Travel, and Cylinder Pressure Rise,” NACA Technical Note 1217; Bargende, 1995, “Most Optimal Location of 50% Mass Fraction Burned and Automatic Knock Detection,” MTZ, 10(56), pp. 632–638.), the use of combustion phase indicators allows the determination of the best spark advance, apart from any variable or boundary condition. The implementation of a feedback spark timing control, based on the use of these combustion phase indicators, would ensure the minimum fuel consumption in every possible condition. Despite the presence of many literature references on the use combustion phase indicators, there is no evidence of any experimental comparison on the performance obtainable, in terms of both control accuracy and transient response, by the use of such indicators in a spark timing feedback control. The author, hence, carried out a proper experimental campaign comparing the performances of a proportional-integral spark timing control based on the use of five different in-cylinder pressure derived indicators. The experiments were carried out on a bench test, equipped with a series production four cylinder spark ignition engine and an eddy current dynamometer, using two data acquisition (DAQ) systems for data acquisition and spark timing control. Pressure sampling was performed by means of a flush mounted piezoelectric pressure transducer with the resolution of one crank angle degree. The feedback control was compared to the conventional map based control in terms of response time, control stability, and control accuracy in three different kinds of tests: steady-state, step response, and transient operation. All the combustion phase indicators proved to be suitable for proportional-integral feedback spark advance control, allowing fast and reliable control even in transient operations.
