Tire slip fuzzy control of a laboratory Anti-lock Braking System

A tire slip fuzzy control solution is designed and implemented in the framework of an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) comprising a highly nonlinear controlled plant. The fuzzy controllers are designed to work for locally linearized models of the plant. Their parameters are tuned by mapping from simple PI controllers in terms of the modal equivalence principle. The experience from the experiments is incorporated in the design of the rules and the stability analysis enables the controller design. The benefits of filtering the input of the fuzzy controller are highlighted in real-time experimental results.
