Design and experimentation of fuzzy logic control for an anti-lock braking system

A multi-input, single-output fuzzy logic controller for anti-lock braking system is proposed, where both the slip and the vehicle velocity are considered as the inputs and are regulated equally influencing on the controller decision. The system developed provides both the minimal slip ratio to avoid the wheel blockage and the shortest braking distance of the vehicle thus mitigating the collision with other traffic objects. The comparison of several rule-base blocks are studied aiming to offer the recommendations regarding their use. The experimental results prove the applicability of the proposed adaptive to different speed control previously designed by the authors for other applications.
