Enhanced slip control performance using nonlinear passive suspension system

Abstract

Antilock Brake System (ABS) controller maintains or controls the slip between tyre and road to maximize the braking torque to achieve a shorter braking distance and control of the steering wheel. This paper presents a PID slip controller performance that incorporates nonlinear passive suspension dynamics. Three scenarios were compared The first scenario is the performance of the controller in a vehicle model without any suspension dynamics, the second scenario incorporates linear passive vehicle suspension system (LPVSS) and the third scenario incorporates nonlinear passive vehicle suspension system (NLPVSS). The incorporation of the passive suspension dynamics enhanced the ABS performance.

Enhancing the Braking Performance of a Vehicle Through the Proper Control of the Active Suspension System

“…To overcome this drawback, the electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) has been developed that assists the ABS to distribute the correct braking force to each wheel according to the weight it supports. Specifically, the EBD measures the difference between the speed of the vehicle and the rotation of each tire and tries to keep it within acceptable limits by properly controlling the brake valve of each wheel [29], [30].…”

A comparative study of two control schemes for anti-lock braking systems

“…In this regards, several control modes have been proposed by researchers and industry. Some popular controllers include: proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller [8], [9]: the PID is extensively used in industry [10] and hence its application to ABS comes naturally. To enhance the robustness of the ABS some researches have proposed the sliding mode controller (SMC).…”

Hybrid Feedback Linearization Slip Control for Anti-lock Braking System

“…These challenges therefore require a more robust non-linear control scheme. However, the Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) controller, which is basically a linear controller, have been applied to ABS [5,1,6,7]. This is due to the fact that the PID controller has been a success story in industrial applications [8,9].…”
