A control strategy of electronic braking system based on brake comfort

EBS offers considerable advantages to improve the braking performance of commercial vehicle. This paper proposes a control strategy of EBS, which is focused on the comfort assessment of vehicles. The road conditions are identified by the identification parameter, which is obtained when the slip-ratio reaches a certain point. The strategy is able to select the maximum deceleration, according to road conditions as well as the comfortable feeling of the drivers. The moving speed of the braking pedal is used to judge the driver´s non-emergency brake intention. The braking force is distributed on the front axle and the rear axle ideally, with the axle load and the gravity position are taken into consideration. The performance of the strategy has been simulated. The results show that the strategy can identify the road condition effectively and make the driver feel comfortable during the brake process.
