Robust sliding mode-like fuzzy logic control for anti-lock braking systems with uncertainties and disturbances

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a robust sliding mode-like fuzzy logic controller for an anti-lock brake system (ABS) with self-tuning of the dead-zone parameters. The main control strategy is to force the wheel slip ratio tracking the optimum value 0.2. The proposed controller for anti-lock braking systems provides a stable and reliable performance under the uncertainties in vehicle brake systems. Simulation results will show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed sliding mode-like fuzzy logic controller.
