Cyber-physical systems for hybrid braking control techniques in hybrid electric vehicles

Abstract

During the application of sudden braking in a transportation vehicle, safety is the most significant factor. When brakes are pressed suddenly, a vehicle’s wheels briefly lock, but the braking distance increases and steering control is ended up losing during that phase, but the antilock braking system (ABS) prevents the locking. As a result, a reliable and consistent control system is required to monitor the wheels and supply the adjustable pressure to the brakes. The integration of regenerative and mechanical braking is critical for the top-notch performance and trustworthy in safety features of the vehicle. In this context, cyber-physical systems (CPSs) can be used to develop hybrid control strategies for the braking system of HEVs. There are several braking control strategies available, with the slip control strategy outperforming the others in EV/HEV applications. The slip control strategy provides the variation between the measured motor speed with reference to the relative desired slip, which is internally controlled by the ABS control system. The current research work employs a variety of control strategies. To monitor the behavior of the implemented ABS, a test case is implemented with the HEV application.
