Abstract
This paper investigates the design of an Antilock Braking System for a Two Wheeled Vehicle using a non-linear multi-body dynamic model developed by an approach widely used in robotics. The Antilock Braking System is controlled using Matlab/Simulink by applying the Bang-Bang, Proportional-Integral-Derivative and Fuzzy Logic controllers in order to set the longitudinal slip to a desired value. The developed model is used to study the braking performances of a Two Wheeled Vehicle in a straight-line maneuver under different road conditions: dry, wet and a transition between both. The simulation results indicate that the non-linear dynamic model can effectively simulate the behavior of the Two Wheeled Vehicle under emergency braking conditions and with the different types of controllers. The braking performance of the Two Wheeled Vehicle with Antilock Braking System was improved by decreasing the stopping distance, avoiding wheel lockup and therefore contributes to ensure the vehicle control and stability and to reduce the risk of falling. Also, it can be seen through comparative analysis that the Fuzzy logic is one of the most efficient controllers that improve the braking safety.
