Abstract

This paper makes a specialty of the integration of braking-related vehicle safety structures as an active safety technology, including Electronic Stability Control, Emergency Brake Assist, and Anti-lock Braking System. The proposed control system is designed using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) modeling approach. It takes into account seven inputs, including pedal displacement, pedal velocity, the necessary corrective torque to maintain vehicle stability, and the slip ratio of each of the four wheels under various dynamic and transient driving conditions. The system determines the required brake pressure for each wheel as four separate outputs to optimize braking performance. Additionally, this study considers four independent electro-hydraulic brake (EHB) control systems to achieve faster and more effective response times for each wheel, enhancing safety margins during emergency maneuvers and complex cornering. The simulation results obtained using MATLAB and Carsim validate the performance, accuracy, and efficiency of the system under different operational and critical scenarios.
