Abstract :
The effects of brake system failures on the combined longitudinal and lateral dynamics of a vehicle are considered. It is assumed that a vehicle is equipped with four individual brake actuators, one at each wheel. Failure of any of the brake subsystems hampers the vehicle´s ability to decelerate. This paper aims at detecting faults in a brake system and designing a fault tolerant brake control algorithm.
