ABS is a safety system which prevents the wheels on a motor vehicle from locking up (or Skidding) while braking. ABS prevent vehicle from skidding when applied brakes in any road condition keeping the vehicle speed and wheel speed at a same level. It helps the driver to head the nose of the vehicle to a desired location even when full brakes are applied. ABS offers improved vehicle control and decreases stopping distances on dry and especially slippery surfaces. The aim of an ABS is to decelerate the vehicle in the best possible manner i.e. to Minimize the braking distance while maintaining the Stability. 3

Stopping a car in a hurry on a slippery road can be very challenging.When you apply brakes on such road vehicle has a greater chance of getting skidded. If the vehicle starts to skid, there is no way to control the nose direction using the steering wheel. The main disadvantage of ordinary brakes is that these brakes are imprecise and the vehicle is difficult to control. Locking of brake can be caused due to the high brake pressure applied. The wheel lockup causes instability of the vehicle. Anti-lock Brake improves the controllability of vehicles in compare with brake systems lacking ABS 4

Some drivers using the same technique to stop the vehicle without losing control in slippery roads. What exactly happen there is once the vehicle starts skidding they release the brake pedal, so that they have the vehicle in control. After that the driver applies the brake again. ABS is an electronic braking system can perform the above mentioned task more accurately and efficiently. 6

Speed Sensor: The anti-lock braking system needs some way

of knowing when a wheel is about to lock up. The speed sensors, which are located at each wheel, or in some cases in the differential, provide this information.



Valves: They work with the controller and the pump to add or release pressure from the individual wheels brakes to control the braking



Pump: Since the valve is able to release pressure from the brakes, there has to be some way to put that pressure back. That is what the pump does; when a valve reduces the pressure in a line, the pump is there to get the pressure back up.



Controller: The controller is an ECU type unit in the car which receives information from each individual wheel speed sensor, in turn if a wheel loses traction the signal is sent to the controller, the controller will then limit the brakeforce and actuates the braking valves on and off.

The controller monitors the speed sensors at all times. Right before a wheel locks up, it will experience a rapid deceleration. The ABS controller under such a rapid deceleration reduces the pressure to that brake until it sees an acceleration Then it increases the pressure until it sees the deceleration again. It can do this very quickly, before the tire can actually significantly change speed. The result is that the tire slows down at the same rate as the car, with the brakes keeping the tires very near the point at which they will start to lock up. 10

Many different control methods for ABS systems have been developed. These methods differ in their theoretical basis and performance under the changes of road conditions. An antilock braking system control is a rather difficult problem due to its strongly nonlinear and uncertain characteristics. To overcome these difficulties, robust control methods should be employed such as a Fuzzy control.

Fuzzy logic is a mathematical technique for dealing with imprecise data and problems that have many solutions rather than one. Although it is implemented in digital computers which ultimately makes yes-no decisions, fuzzy logic works with ranges of values, solving problems in a way that more resembles human logic. FUZZIFICATION - The crisp input has to be converted to a fuzzy number. DEFUZZIFICATION- It is the process of producing a quantifiable result in fuzzy logic. 12

Fuzzy control aims at replacing old techniques and solving the whole problem with artificial intelligence methods. Fuzzy controllers are very simple conceptually. They consist of  An input stage -maps sensor or other inputs to the appropriate membership functions and truth values.  A processing stage - invokes appropriate rule and generates a result for each, then combines the results of the rules  An output stage - converts the combined result back into a specific control output value 13

ABS which is a non-linear system may not be easily controlled by classical control methods. An intelligent fuzzy control method is very useful for this kind of non linear system. Fuzzy ABS require more complex control constructs than simple “if-then” rules. In “ifthen” rules, input variables marks directly to the output variables. But in fuzzy control it is possible to build a control with intermediate fuzzy variables. 14

The Fuzzy-Controller uses two input values: the wheel slip SB:

and the wheel acceleration: The input variables are transformed into fuzzy variables slip and wheel acceleration by the fuzzification process. Both variables use seven linguistic values, the slip variable is described by the terms Slip = {zero, very small, too small, smaller than optimum, optimum, too large, very large}, and the acceleration by dvwheel/dt = {negative large, negative medium, negative small, negative few, zero, positive small, positive large}. 

16

As a result of two fuzzy variables, each of them having seven labels, 49 different conditions are possible. The rule base is complete that means, all 49 rules are formulated and all 49 conditions are allowed.  The two fuzzy input values slip and wheel acceleration can be mapped to the fuzzy output value pressure. The labels for this value are: Pressure = {positive fast, positive slow, zero, negative slow, negative fast} 

Fuzzy ABS has reduced the percentage of road crashes by a considerable amount. Experts predict that 35% to 50% of all cars built worldwide in five years will have ABS as standard equipment. Though it has many advantages, there are few disadvantages such as increased braking distance in snow/icy regions at present. These drawbacks can be overcome in future by fuzzy controlled ABS.

So, next time buy a vehicle with ABS 21
