Comprehensive Analysis and Performance Comparison of Anti-Lock Braking Controllers: Mechanisms, Variants, and Simulation Results

This anti-lock braking system (ABS) can identify when a wheel locks up and modify the brake pressure to avert it. The primary goal of control is to apply the appropriate rotational force towards in achieving the wheel slip rate possible. There would exist an inherent correlation between this slip rate and the speed of the rotation of the wheels and the vehicle’s linear velocity. This paper offers an analysis that (ABS), including a detailed look at its mechanism and the different types of controllers that have been developed. It explores the fundamental principles, operational aspects, key components, advantages, and limitations associated with ABS. The controllers used in ABS are categorized into several types, including control types, which include PID, PD, ON-OFF (Bang-Bang), EBFD, and Fuzzy Logic Control. A quarter-vehicle model is used in the evaluation of the controllers both for longitudinal and rotational dynamics. The authors then compare the performances of different controllers using simulations of the breaking point delivered into the system.
