Abstract

Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) have been developed to reduce tendency for wheel lock and improve vehicle control during sudden braking especially on slippery road surfaces. The objective of such control is to increase wheel tractive force in the desired direction while maintaining adequate vehicle stability and steerability and also reducing the vehicle stopping distance. In this paper, a genetic-fuzzy ABS controller is designed. The objective function is defined to maintain wheel slip to a desired level so that maximum wheel tractive force and maximum vehicle deceleration are obtained. All components of the fuzzy system that is Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) type are obtained using a genetic algorithm. Simulation results show very good performance of the controller for different road conditions
