A New Control Strategy for Anti-Lock Braking Systems

A new control strategy for Anti-lock Braking System was developed to improve vehicle braking during emergency maneuvers. Various prediction and re-selection methods were evaluated using a nonlinear vehicle model along with a nonlinear tire model and a steering system model. To improve upon the evaluated control strategies, conjugate boundary method and poincare mapping concept were used. The new control strategy developed has proved to be more effective during emergency braking and steering maneuvers.
