An application of nonlinear PID control to a class of truck ABS problems

A NPID (nonlinear PID) control algorithm is applied to a class of truck ABS (anti-lock brake system) problems. The NPID algorithm combines the advantages of robust control and easy tuning. Simulation results at various situations using TruckSim show that NPID controller has shorter stopping distance and better velocity performance than the conventional PID controller and a loop-shaping controller.
