Super-twisting control algorithm for an Antilock Braking System

Abstract

This paper proposes a robust control scheme for the Antilock Braking System (ABS). The controller is based on the Super-Twisting (ST) control algorithm, this is a high-orden sliding mode controller. The ABS is nonlinear and uncertain system; therefore, a robust control method needs to be employed. The ST control algorithm is developed and applied for a quarter vehicle model via simulations. The simulation results reveal that the controller is fast in convergence and it has an adequate performance.
