An Integrated Cooperative Antilock Braking Control of Regenerative and Mechanical System for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle Based on Intelligent Tire

With the development of the global automotive industry, environmental pollution and driving safety have been major problems. This paper focuses on a novel integrated cooperative antilock braking system ABS controller, which is used for antilock regenerative braking systems ARBS and antilock mechanical braking systems AMBS for hybrid electric vehicles HEV driving on different road surfaces. An intelligent tire system is utilized to detect varying road surfaces to obtain friction information and optimal operation slip ratio. In addition, the HEV eight-degree-of-freedom dynamics model is developed for ABS control, which includes the LuGre tire model. Adaptive backstepping and finite state machine controllers are explored to maintain optimal wheel slip and regenerate energy, based on wheel slip, battery state of charge SOC, motor capability torque, and vehicle velocity, and to develop the switching rules of regenerative and mechanical braking systems. In order to evaluate the performance of regenerative and mechanical braking systems on harvesting energy and driving safety, the HEV and LuGre dynamic tire models are developed in MATLAB SIMULINK /SimDriveline. The estimation results of different road surfaces and slip controller effects are tested via the experiments and simulations, finding good braking performances and high regenerative efficiency in different maneuvers.
