Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of hydraulic brakes for vehicles. It describes the brake dynamics modeling and suggests a form of nonlinear control. The brake model was used to formulate brake control algorithms with input at the brake pedal, at the vacuum booster, at the master cylinder, or at each wheel. The control algorithm, although by no means the only possible one, can be used for automatic brake control for applications, such as autonomous cruise control or fully automated platooning. The controller suggested in the chapter is based on the variable structure control methodology and it was selected because of its ability to deal with the nonlinearities and uncertainties present in the brake system dynamics. Development of novel hardware, designed specifically for the task at hand is necessary for future automatic brake actuation application systems requiring low pressure and continuous use.
