Experimental evaluation of a type-2 fuzzy control algorithm on an Anti-Lock Braking System

Control of nonlinear systems is a challenging task in control engineering and the use of type-2 fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) has been proposed as a promising approach, as they can perform adequately in dynamically unstructured environments that include large amount of uncertainties. In this paper, an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is controlled by an interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller. The control algorithm is used on a quarter vehicle model and it is seen through simulation studies that it results in a good performance with fast convergence. These results are experimentally validated on a laboratory setup.
