ABS introduction • An Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a vehicle motion control system to increase the passive safety of a vehicle. • ABS intends to prevent wheel lock by regulating the hydraulic brake pressure of each wheel to increase the lateral stability.
ABS introduction • ABS consists of mathematic models which are based on physical properties related to tire-road conditions. • Tire friction and road conditions are affecting the control schemes of the mathematic models.
Tire dynamics • The dynamic behaviour of atire is suggested in a coordinate system. • The three forces are: The three moments are: • 1. Longitudinal force Fx 1. Overturning moment Mx • 2. Lateral force Fy2. Rolling moment My • 3. Normal force Fz3. Yawing moment / self-aligning torque Mz
Tire dynamics • Side slip α is the angle between the tire longitudinal axis and the wheel velocity vector • Longitudinal slip is the normalized ratio of the slip velocity and vehicle velocity:
Tire dynamics • A free rolling wheel is represented with . • A locked wheel is indicated by . • ABS controllers are optimized at the transition of the rising and falling slope • Identification of the algorithm for estimating the peak-value can provide a reliable estimation for ABS activation.
Stationary friction models • Static friction is determined by the friction coefficient and the normal force • Coulomb force
Quasi-physical dynamic friction model LuGre Tire friction model • The constant Coulomb friction force is replaced by the speed dependent sliding friction function . • The LuGre model is related to the bristle interpretation of friction. Friction is modeled as the average deflection force of elastic springs.
Feed Forward ABS controller • The Feed Forward ABS controller model is used to do brake pressure dynamics measurements • Quarter car with LuGre tire friction • With • And is the linearized viscous damping • The term with is the non-linearity of the tire-road friction
Feed Forward ABS controller • Flatness-based model inverse • Where is a function of the vehicle speed, acceleration, jerk and the third derivative of the speed
TU Delft Vehicle Test Lab • The TU Delft VTL is used for testing tire behaviour and for prototyping ABS strategies
TU Delft Vehicle Test Lab Tire setup room Control room • Close up brake caliper • Close up test wheel
Brake setup Vehicle Test Lab • The VTL brake system consists of: 1. A hydraulic pump • A by-pass valve to (dis)connect the brake caliper hydraulically • A rubber brake hose in the original situation • A brake caliper with a brake disc, brake pads and forced air cooling • A piezo-electric brake pressure transducer
Brake setup Vehicle Test Lab • A charge amplifier to receive charge form the piezo-electric transducer • An analog proportional controller to measure and adapt the error between the reference and measured brake pressure • A brake torque sensor and receiver
Brake setup Vehicle Test Lab • The situation with design improvement: Stainless Steel braided brake hose
dSPACE • dSPACE is used to control and measure the parameters of the VTL setup. dSPACE contains software as well as hardware components. • Brake pressure measurements are performed with an existing Feed-Forward ABS model in dSPACE. • Modifying the Feed-Forward controller by a signal generator for brake pressure actuation purpose. • Constant average brake pressures with varying amplitudes are used. To achieve this, a constant is added with the signal generator.
dSPACE ControlDesk • To actuate and measure the test setup real-time, a control panel in ControlDesk has to be made. • From the existing Feed-Forward ABS model, the specific parameters has to be carefully chosen. • The control panel contains : • ON-OFF buttons • A constant pressure value slider • graphs with measuring parameters • settings of the actuating signal • data acquisition
Brake pressure dynamicsresults • Sinus wave excitation measurements are executed to show possible differences in brake pressure dynamics. • These are relativelysimple and quick measurements to see the effects between frequencies, amplitudes and constant average in the originalsituation. • Twolast waves are taken to compare for the repeatabilityresult • About 3bar difference between the desired and the actual max pressure • 0,07bar max difference in one97bar case between nr77 and nr78 • 0,08% max difference in 60bar case between nr77 and nr78
Brake pressure dynamicsresults • When the frequency increases with relative low amplitudes: little pressure difference is observed
Brake pressure dynamicsresults • When the amplitude increases 2x, the max pressure dynamics decreases
Brake pressure dynamicsresults • Further increase of the frequency with relative high amplitudes results into larger decrease in pressure dynamics
Brake pressure dynamicsresults • With design improvements stainless steel braided brake hose • Shows an improved repeatability • 0,75bar improved compared to the original situation
Brake pressure dynamicsresults • Random noise excitations to determine transfer functions • Best result of the original settings, cross over frequency 150Hz • Resonance frequency of approx. 84Hz • Bandwidth of approx. 118Hz • Time delay to approx. 250Hz
Brake pressure dynamicsresults • Cross over frequency from 150Hz to 300Hz • Resonance frequency approx. 84Hz • Bandwidth approx. 116Hz when using relative low amplitudes • Time delay to approx. 400Hz
Brake pressure dynamicsresults • Amplitude 1bar • Resonance frequency of approx. 75Hz • Bandwidth of approx. 120Hz • Time delay to approx. 300Hz
Brake pressure dynamicsresults • Check channel 5 input signal with channel 6 with limited freq. content • Resonance frequency of approx. 33Hz • Bandwidth of approx. 115Hz • Time delay to approx. 300Hz
Brake pressure dynamicsresults • Best overall results when changing gains • Resonance frequency of approx. 90Hz • Bandwidth of approx. 112Hz • Time delay to approx. 500Hz
Brake pressure dynamicsresults • Best bandwidth result when changing gains • Resonance frequency of approx. 50Hz • Bandwidth of approx. 117Hz • Time delay to approx. 300Hz
Conclusion • Sinus wave excitation results of the original situation show clearly decreased brake pressure dynamics when increasing the frequency. • Also relative small maximum pressure increase of 0,75bar for the stainless steel braided brake hose situation is observed. When applying relative high amplitudes of 20bar with a constant average 80bar @ 1Hz. • Decreasing the varying amplitude will improve the dynamical behaviour of the measurement setup. • Random noise excitation results with design improvements when increasing the cross over frequency to 300Hz the overall results are slightly decreased. • When changing the proportional gains, little difference in bandwidth is noticed in most cases. • Channel 6 with a limited frequency content has a comparable bandwidth, overall results of channel 5 show a better performance. • The upper knob gain setting of 2.00 shows the best overall results. • The upper knob gain setting of 5.00 shows the best bandwidth of 117Hz. • A cross over frequency of 150Hz and relative low varying amplitudes to 1bar show the best results of all measurements
