Passenger Car Active Braking System: model and experimental validation (Part I)

The paper proposes a method to characterize the dynamic behavior of a normal production hydraulic brake system through experiments on a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test bench for both modeling (Part I) and control (Part II) tasks. The activity is relative to analyze, model and control ABS/ESC digital valves, aiming at obtaining reference tracking and disturbance-rejection performance similar to ...

Passenger Car Active Braking System: pressure control design and experimental results (Part II)

This paper deals with the design of a brake caliper pressure controller for a conventional ABS/ESC system and the experimental validation of its tracking performances. The analysis of the hydraulic plant, carried out in Part I of this two-part study, is here utilized to develop the control algorithm for ABS digital electro-hydraulic valves. The control strategy is based on a Feedforward (FF) an...

Passenger Interface Systems in Modern Railway Application: A Dedicated Passenger Information System for Istanbul Tramway

After 1860’s the railway systems has started to be used in urban transportation in the world. However, especially after the 1950’s, automobile usage has been increased quickly. Thus the dense of transportation has started to move from railway systems to the ones with rubber tire vehicles in Istanbul. Traffic density in urban transportation has started to be experienced since 1950 with the incre...

Model free control design for a semi-active suspension of a passenger car

Comfort and road handling in passenger cars can be improved by including a semi-active suspension system, controlled by online varying the damping based on measurements of the car motions. The selection of an appropriate control structure is crucial, since it determines the complexity of the control design and parameter tuning process. Model based control requires the identification of a physic...
