Control systems that help the driver avoid accidents, or limit the damage in case of an accident, have become ubiquitous in modern passenger cars. For example, new cars typically have an anti-lock braking system (ABS), which prevents the wheels from locking during hard braking, and they often have an electronic stability control system (ESC), which stabilizes the lateral motion of the vehicle t...

<span lang="EN-US">The regenerative braking effectiveness of electric vehicles (EVs), with <br /> 8-25% range, requires designers to produce better systems. The antilock system (ABS) was chosen because it offers various advantages, such as enhanced safety considerations, vehicle maneuverability, and so on. measurement findings revealed that ABS took longer stop the wheels same wheel...

A model predictive controller for optimal braking of a road vehicle is proposed. Taking into account the additional information provided by a torque sensor located in the wheel, there is no need to use any longitudinal model of the vehicle. Instead, we detail a way to identify a tire/road characteristic. This on-line reconstruction is based on an estimation of the longitudinal wheel slip and an...

Structured models of systems allow us to determine their reliability, yet there are numerous challenges that need to be overcome to obtain meaningful results. This paper reports the results and approach used to model and analyze the Anti-lock Braking System of a passenger vehicle using Stochastic Petri Nets. Special emphasis is laid on modeling extra-functional characteristics like coincident f...
