ABSTRACT

The paper presents the results of simulation of braking process of vehicle. The vehicle-driver-road system was investigated in order to choose the concept of anti-locking device. Final choice of the control of such a device was obtained by means of computer simulation. Its idea was based on the analysis of wheel’s angular velocity compared with programmed velocity of each of them. Laboratory and road tests confirmed the correctness of anti-locking control and showed the protection of wheels against locking during panic braking.
