Abstract :
Describes the preliminary research on and implementation of a fuzzy logic controller to control wheel slip for an antilock brake system. The dynamics of braking systems are highly nonlinear and time-variant. Simulation was used to derive an initial rule base, which was then tested on an experimental brake system. The rules were further refined by analysis of the data acquired from vehicle braking maneuvers on a surface with a high coefficient of friction. The robustness of the fuzzy logic slip regulator was further tested by varying operating conditions and external environmental variables
