Description

Active Braking Control Design for Road Vehicles focuses on two main brake system technologies: hydraulically-activated brakes with on�off dynamics and electromechanical brakes, tailored to brake-by-wire control. The physical differences of such actuators enjoin the use of different control schemes so as to be able fully to exploit their characteristics. The authors�show how these different control approaches are complementary, each having specific peculiarities in terms of either performance or of the structural properties of the closed-loop system. They also consider other problems related to the design of braking control systems, namely: � longitudinal vehicle speed estimation and its relationship with braking control system design; � tire�road friction estimation; � direct estimation of tire�road contact forces via in-tire sensors, providing a treatment of active vehicle braking control from a wider perspective linked to both advanced academic research and industrial reality.Typham this is the title: Active Braking Control Systems Design for Vehicles
