Development of an algorithm for braking force distribution to avoid wheel locking in ABS

Abstract

Antilock Braking System (ABS) is a significant part in vehicle technology to deliver extra security for drivers. It helps in stopping the vehicle at short distances and allows better control during sudden braking when sudden obstacle came, in spite of the fact that the braking distance can be decreased by the control torque from drum brakes. With the help of Electronic control unit braking force can be determined and distributed efficiently to all wheels by this braking time and braking distance can be improved and by this vehicle gets stabilized. This is achieved by developing an algorithm to distribute the braking force for each wheel based on the slip calculation of each wheel. This is then integrated with AUTOSAR process and simulation is carried out in CarSim.
