Abstract :
A robust vehicle traction control algorithm which includes anti-skid braking and anti-spin acceleration is proposed. The scheme is a non-linear feedback control system in which the theory of variable structure systems (VSS) has been utilized to design the controllers. The control system, brake controller and engine controller are discussed in detail. The effectiveness of this new algorithm is demonstrated by experiments on anti-skid braking
