(3) Basic ABS Controls
▶ Brake and cornering force
- Brake force
When depressing the brake pedal the
brake force increases to the maximum,
then the brake force decreases until the
wheel locks.
- Cornering force
The cornering force is a maximum when
the wheel is turning freely with zero slip.
When braking the cornering force falls
to zero if the wheel locks (slip 100 %).
- ABS operating range
The operating range starts just before
the maximum brake force and ends in
maximum, for the unstable range then
begins, in which no further modulation is
possible. The ABS
egulation of the brake pressure so that
the brake force only becomes great
enough for a sufficient proportion of
cornering force to remain. With ABS we
remain in the Kamm circle as long as
the car is driving
sensibly. We will leave driving physics
with these statements and turn to the
braking systems with and
without ABS.
Applications of the ABS control unit The
signals produced by the wheel sensors are
evaluated in the electronic control unit. From
the information received, the control unit
must first compute the following variables:
- Wheel speed
- Reference speed
- Deceleration
- Slip
