The solenoid valve of ABS hydraulic modulator is a two directional on-off valve and is controlled by around 100Hz on-off control. When the on-off valve is switched from open state to closed state, there are braking force deterioration, noise and vibration due to surge pressure in the wheel cylinder. In this study, identifies surge pressure in the braking process of ABS, and investigates the way to reduce the phenomenon. To reduce the surge pressure, PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) control with high frequency of 20kHz was attempted. In conclusion, by using the results of this study for the pressure surge prediction, we could expect enhancement of braking performance in ABS.

In this paper, a method which can deduce the traction farce or the braking force from the acceleration or the deceleration of the train, has been suggested. In the case of Korean high speed train (HSR-350x), the traction force and the braking forces have been obtained by using this method. It is proven that the proposed method is a very good tool in estimating the traction force or the braking force when the train starts or stops. Also, these forces on be used to calculate friction coefficients of mechanical brakes and the transmission efficiency of the traction system.

Train dynamics affects significantly safe and efficient operation of a train, especially during traction or braking period. Train dynamics is intrinsically complex due to many DOF motions in a three-dimensional space, and its behavior during the braking stage is too complex to understand and design an effective braking logic of the train. In this paper, we present a two-dimensional model with three DOF motion in a longitudinal, vertical, and pitch direction for the Hanvit 200 tilting train, which is efficient to analyze a braking performance. Furthermore, we analyze the braking logic and simulate the braking process of the Hanvit 200 tilting train using Simulink.

This study was carried out to investigate the braking performances associated with the friction coefficients and temperature fluctuations. Friction coefficient stability and maximum temperature of brake drums, made of an Al-MMC and conventional cast iron, were tested by the inertial brake dynamometer during 15 braking operations. Also the temperature distribution was analyzed by the finite element analysis(FEA). In this experiment, both lower temperature rise near the drum surface and less variation of friction coefficient, compared to those of cast iron, were observed with Al-MMC drums during braking operations.

A vehicle stability control logic for 4WD hybrid electric vehicle is proposed using the regenerative braking of the rear motor and electronic brake force distribution module. Performance of the stability control logic is evaluated for J-turn and single lane change. It is found from the simulation results that the regenerative braking at rear motor is able to provide improved stability compared with the vehicle performance without my stability control. Additional improvement can be achieved by applying the regenerative braking plus electronic brake farce distribution control. It is expected that the regenerative braking offers additional improvement of the fuel economy as well as the vehicle stability control.

The wheel slip control systems are able to control the braking force more accurately and can be adapted to different vehicles more easily than conventional braking control systems. In order to achieve the superior braking performance through the wheel slip control, real-time information such as the tire braking force at each wheel is required. In addition, the optimal target slip values need to be determined depending on the braking objectives such as minimum braking distance, stability enhancement, etc. In this paper, a wheel slip control system is developed for maintaining the vehicle stability based on the braking monitor, wheel slip controller and optimal target slip assignment algorithm. The braking monitor estimates the tire braking force, lateral tire force and brake disk-pad friction coefficient utilizing the extended Kalman filter. The wheel slip controller is designed based on the sliding mode control method. The target slip assignment algorithm is proposed to maintain the vehicle stability based on the direct yaw moment controller and fuzzy logic. The performance of the proposed wheel slip control system is verified in simulations and demonstrates the effectiveness of the wheel slip control in various road conditions.

Regenerative braking performance of an electrically powered vehicle is closely related to driving distance per battery charge. An electric vehicle uses appropriate amounts of mechanical braking force and electromagnetic regenerative braking force to recover energy and increase driving efficiency. In particular, when it drives on a downhill road, energy recovery rate is maximized through regenerative braking during coasting based on the mass inertia of the vehicle. Since an electric two-wheeled vehicle covered in this paper is lighter than an electric four-wheeled vehicle, the improvement of its driving distance per battery charge through regenerative braking is different from an electric four-wheeled vehicle. This study compared the driving characteristics of an electric two-wheeled vehicle based on regenerative braking. Two driving test modes were simulated with a chassis dynamometer system. By analyzing the measurement of a chassis dynamometer, the driving characteristics of a two-wheel electric vehicle, such as driving efficiency, were analyzed. In addition, test results were reviewed to draw the limitations of conventional test methods for regenerative braking performance of an electric two-wheel vehicle.
