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...

"The anti-lock braking system is a safety equipment that prevents the vehicle wheels from locking up under emergency, panic, or harsh conditions, ensuring steering control during and reducing distance. This studied by automotive engineers for performance comparisons determining optimal methods. For this reason, paper presents method to mathematically model system. The obtained afterwards used i...

Traditional friction braking torque and motor braking torque can be used in braking for electric vehicles (EVs). A sliding mode controller (SMC) based on the exponential reaching law for the anti-lock braking system (ABS) is developed to maintain the optimal slip value. Parameter optimizing is applied to the reaching law by fuzzy logic control (FLC). A regenerative braking algorithm, in which t...
