Design and Validation of an ABS and TCS Control Strategy Applied in an Automotive Simulator Using Model-Based Design Methodology

Automotive simulation tools have been employed in various areas of knowledge, especially in the production chain of the automotive industry. The main benefit of these tools consists of reducing the time and product development loops, which directly implies a reduced production cost and improved quality. Thus, the present study aims to use the VI-CarRealTime software widely used in the automotive industry to design and validate ABS and TCS automotive control systems using the ModelBased Design methodology. The simulation results show that the controllers meet the operating requirements well, showing a high correlation when compared to models of a complete vehicle for application in automotive simulators.
