The performance characteristics of different variants of Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) in a normal passenger car is investigated. ABS prevent lock-up of wheels and maintains steer ability of the vehicle during braking. Vehicle stopping distance, brake pressure, wheel slip and slide-slip are made using Simulink software and system study was conducted an investigation is done. The variants of ABS taken for the study are 2-channel ABS (front wheels), Cross-ABS (alternate wheels: front left and rear right) and full (four channel) ABS. The Simulink model was interfaced with IPG Carmaker and simulation was performed to include the aerodynamics, tire friction and road friction. The results of the simulation were validated to obtain conclusions on the braking performance for different variants of ABS.

This paper presents a mathematical vehicle model that is designed to analyse and improve the dynamic performance of a vehicle. A wheel slip controller for anti-lock braking system (ABS) brakes is formulated using a sliding mode controller and a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for rear wheel steering is also designed to enhance the stability, steerability, and driveability of the vehicle during transient manoeuvres. The braking and steering performances of controllers are evaluated for various driving conditions, such as straight and J-turn manoeuvres. The simulation results show that the proposed full car model is sufficient to predict vehicle responses accurately. The developed ABS reduces the stopping distance and increases the longitudinal and lateral stability of both two-and four-wheel steering vehicles. The results also demonstrate that the use of a rear wheel controller as a yaw motion controller can increase its lateral stability and reduce the slip angle at high speeds.


Braking has great impact on the stability of a moving vehicle, as it has to dissipate all the energy that has been stored (kinematic energy) through brake pads (in another forms i.e. heat and sound energy). Stability of the system is more likely to flop as it has to transform and deplete the energy in flash of time, leads to loss in control over desired path followed by drift. Slip (µ) is the key factor to measure stability of this system explicitly, which is defined in terms of vehicle speed (Vs) and wheel speed (Ws). Using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as a tool to control Anti-lock braking system (ABS) to attain optimal brake pressure thereby minimizing the stopping distance, jerk’s and ultimately system stability. Validation of result were carried out by using MAT-LAB and compared with Hysteresis controller. Simulated results proved that the system performance is improved.

Abstract This article presents the results of measurements of the braking efficiency of vehicles adapted to be operated by drivers with motor dysfunctions. In such cars, the braking system is extended with an adaptive device that allows braking with the upper limb. This device applies pressure to the original brake in the car. The braking force and thus its efficiency depend on the mechanical ratio in the adapting device. In addition, braking performance depends on the sensitivity of the car’s original braking system and the maximum force that a disabled person can exert on the handbrake lever. Such a person may have limited power in the upper limbs. The force exerted by the driver can also be influenced by the position of the driver’s seat in relation to the handbrake lever. This article describes the research aimed at understanding the influence of the above-mentioned factors on the car braking performance. As a part of the analysis of the test results, a mathematical function was proposed that allows a parametric description of the braking efficiency index on the basis of data on the braking system, adaptation device, driver’s motor limitations, and the position of the driver’s seat. The information presented in this article can be used for the preliminary selection of adaptive devices to the needs of a given driver with a disability and to the vehicle construction.

Abstract Evidence accumulates that tire forces on wet roads, particularly when the wheel is locked, are determined by the dry frictional properties of the rubber on the one hand and by hydrodynamic lubrication in the contact area on the other. The probable reason why they are so clearly separable is that water is a poor lubricant, tending to separate into globules and dry areas under relatively small pressures. Road surfaces and tire profiles are, therefore, designed to create easy drainage and high local contact pressures. The influence of road friction on vehicle control well below the critical conditions is becoming more clearly understood; but more Investigations are required here, in particular under dynamic conditions.

An adaptive searching algorithm for the optimal slip during ABS wheel slip control is proposed. By taking advantage of the fluctuation of wheel slip control, the direction towards the optimal slip can be found, and the target slip calculated by the algorithm asymptotically converged to the optimal slip, which is proved using the Lyapunov theory. A gain-scheduling wheel slip controller is developed to control the wheel slip to the target slip. Simulations on the uniform road and on the road with changed friction are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the ABS algorithm using the proposed searching algorithm can make full use of the road friction and adapts to road friction changes. Comparing with the conventional rule-based ABS, the pressure modulation amplitude and wheel speed fluctuation is significantly reduced, improving control performance of ABS.

The automatic driving technology of vehicle is being carried out in real road environment, however, the application of unmanned vehicle still needs proof and practice. Autonomous vehicles will be in the stage of co-drive for a long time, that is, driver-control and autonomous system assisting or autonomous system control and driver assisting. The braking system of the intelligent vehicle needs to work in driver driving mode or automatic driving mode during a long stage. Brake-by-Wire system is the development trend of vehicle braking system. The brake modes of the Brake-by-Wire system can be switched easily and it can satisfy the demand for braking system of the intelligent vehicle. However, when the driving mode changes, the characteristic of the braking intention and braking demand will change. In order to improve the braking performance of the intelligent vehicle, hydraulic pressure control and parameter optimization of the Brake-by-Wire system during different driving modes should be different. Researches are made on hydraulic pressure control and parameter optimization of the Brake-by-Wire system with consideration on differences of braking intensity input and braking requirement between driver driving mode and automatic driving mode through theory analysis, Matlab/Simulink-AMESim simulation and bench test. The study is helpful for improving the braking performance of Brake-by-Wire system in hydraulic pressure control of driver-automation cooperative driving.

The introduction of anti-lock braking system (ABS) has been regarded as one of the solutions for braking performance issues due to its notable advantages. The subject had been extensively being studied by researchers until today, to improve the performance of the todays vehicles particularly on the brake system. In this paper, a basic modeling of an ABS braking system via slip control has been introduced on a quarter car model with a conventional hydraulic braking mode. Results of three fundamental controller designs used to evaluate the braking performance of the modeled ABS systems are also been presented. This revisited modeling guide, could be a starting point for new researchers to comprehend the basic braking system behavior before going into more complex braking systems studies.
