Anti-lock braking control design using a nonlinear model predictive approach and wheel information

Since several decades anti-lock braking systems rely on rule-based control strategies. Extensive literature review highlighted the possibility that significant improvements could be achieved if ABS controllers were redesigned taking advantage of the technological improvements achieved in the last decade. This work aims to verify this...

Anti-lock braking control design using a Nonlinear Model Predictive approach and wheel information

Over the past century, cars have become a fundamental part of our society. With the increasingly larger number of vehicles on the road, safety is, now more than ever, a topic of paramount importance. It is estimated that every year 26,000 people are killed on European roads, corresponding to a social cost of 100 billion euros. In the last two...
