Hybrid electric vehicles employ a hydraulic braking system and a regenerative braking system together to provide enhanced braking performance and energy regeneration. In this paper an integrated braking system is proposed for an electric hybrid vehicle that include a hydraulic braking system and a regenerative braking system which is functionally connected to an electric traction motor. In the ...

A novel model based scheme for the state estimation during anti-lock braking is presented based on a LuGre tyre model and a quarter car model. The wheel angular speed and longitudinal vehicle acceleration information are used to design a nonlinear observer based on the unscented Kalman filter theory. This nonlinear observer provides the necessary information for the anti-lock control despite th...

The passive and also the active safety systems of the vehicles evolved in the last decades. Beside the safety system of cars and trucks the smaller vehicles like the motorbikes, scooters, e-bikes and bicycle’s systems evolved as well. The aim of the project was to create and develop a prototype bicycle that uses a hydraulic type antilock braking system. The paper presents shortly the dynamics o...

The “Reliability Analysis of an Anti-lock Braking System using Stochastic Petri Nets” is a work in progress and an extension to the work presented in the paper “Specification, Safety and Reliability Analysis Using Stochastic Petri Net Models”[9]. The current work attempts to model the Anti-lock braking sub-system of a vehicle system using Stochastic Petri Nets. The reliability analysis is under...
