Abstract

Electro-Mechanical Brake ( EMB ) is expected to be one of the future brake system. Feedback controller with sensor measuring is commonly used for control of EMB. However, this controller has some issues like delayed response and extra cost about sensor installation. In this paper, Feed-forward controller in EMB is proposed for solving these problems of feedback control. Also, it is very necessary to describe dynamical phenomenon of friction in actual EMB system. The actual EMB system shows stick-slip friction of mechanical parts which is difficult to model and apply to design of controller. This research is focused on exquisitely describing this stick-slip friction. In order to do this, the experiment about EMB is proceeded in the open loop system with the motor current command and data from the experiment is used for identification of model parameters during stiction. Then, parameters during slip is estimated in the closed loop system. Finally, developed friction model of EMB is proposed and it is utilized for design of feed-forward controller. Matlab Simulink is used for design of EMB simulation model and EMB test bench is utilized for experiment. Performance of proposed control system is compared with that of feedback control system.

Highlights

  • Brake-By-Wire (BBW) system is expected to be one of the future brake system [4]

  • Hydraulic line in hydraulic brake system is replaced by pedal sensor, brake pedal simulator, control unit and back-up system

  • Most of Electro-Mechanical Brake (EMB) is controlled by feedback controller embedded in ECU [3]

Summary

Introduction

Brake-By-Wire (BBW) system is expected to be one of the future brake system [4] Because it has many advantages like faster response, shorter braking distance, good space efficiency and connectivity to vehicle chassis control systems like Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) [7]. This controller has some issues related to control performance and usefulness. Because controller based feedback, which is measured value by a sensor, cannot help having delayed response. This delayed response has a bad effect for control performance. EMB simulation model is developed and used for accuracy and usefulness of this control system are shown with comparison of the simulation results in feedback control system
