In this paper, we present the general context of the research in the domain of analysis and modeling of mechatronic systems. In fact, we present à bibliographic review on some works of research about the systemic analysis of mechatronic systems. To better understand its characteristics, we start with an introduction about mechatronic systems and various fields related to these systems, after we...

The aim of our paper is to provide a new class of five-phase anti-lock brake algorithms (that use wheel deceleration logic-based switching) and a simple mathematical background that explains their behavior. Firstly, we completely characterize the conditions required for our algorithm to work. Secondly, we explain how to compute analytically an approximation of the Poincaré map of the system (wi...

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is the most important active safety system for passenger cars, but unfortunately the literature is not really precise about its description, stability and performance. This research improves a five-phase hybrid algorithm based on wheel deceleration and validate it on a tyre-in-the-loop laboratory facility. Five relevant effects are modelled so that the simulation ...

The effect of antilock braking systems (ABS) on motorcyclist fatal crash risk in 2005-06 was studied by comparing fatal crash rates per registrations of motorcycles with and without ABS. Study motorcycles included those for which ABS was optional equipment and could be identified as present by the model name. Fatal motorcycle crashes per 10,000 registered vehicle years were 38 percent lower for...

Automotive driving safety systems such as an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and an electronic stability program (ESP) assist drivers in controlling the vehicle to avoid road accidents. In this paper, ABS and the ESP, based on the fuzzy logic theory, are integrated for vehicle stability control in complex braking maneuvers. The proposed control algorithm is implemented for a sport utility vehicl...

Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) are safety and control devices implemented in ground vehicles that prevent the wheel lock-up during panic braking. The existing ABS controls have the ability to regulate the level of pressure to optimally maintain the wheel slip within the vehicle stability range. However, the ABS shows strong nonlinear characteristics in which the vehicles equipped with the exis...

This paper deals with the design of a brake caliper pressure controller for a conventional ABS/ESC system and the experimental validation of its tracking performances. The analysis of the hydraulic plant, carried out in Part I of this two-part study, is here utilized to develop the control algorithm for ABS digital electro-hydraulic valves. The control strategy is based on a Feedforward (FF) an...
