Automobile and truck manufacturers have given increasing attention to electronic wheel lock control brake systems during the last few years.
These systems prevent continuous wheel lock-up during maximum braking stops, thus aiding the driver in retaining lateral stability and generally improving stopping distances.
This presentation discusses a system for preventing continuous rear wheel lock-up of an automobile during maximum braking stops. Included is a description of the control system components, tire and road characteristics, brake and vehicle dynamics, and an analysis leading to the requirements for optimum control.
