Design of an anti-lock brake algorithm based on wheel load measurements

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is an active safety system nowadays implemented in every new car and could prevent the wheels from locking during heavy braking. Steering becomes ineffective and the brake distance longer than necessary when the wheels are locked. ABS has reduced the amount of non-fatal crashes significantly, but there are still...

Design and Implementation of Adaptive Brake Pressure Controller

Road safety has been the subject of interest for research from the time the first automotive was invented. Safety has been characterized by many factors but the most prominent is maintaining control over the vehicle motion in all situations. Modern safety systems especially Antilock Braking System (ABS) in combination with Electronic Stability...

Design and Implementation of a Novel Force and Brake Pressure based Anti-lock Braking System

System Identification of the Brake Setup in the TU Delft Vehicle Test Lab

Testing facilities such as the TU Delft Vehicle Test Lab (VTL) are needed to provide necessary experimental data to validate and to compare the performance of several ABS controllers like the Feed-Forward Braking controller. Before testing ABS controllers with the VTL measurement system, it needs to be improved first. Earlier measurements...
