ABSTRACT
Essentially excessive wheel slip occurs due to the fact that the output torque of the actuator generates the longitudinal tire force that reaches the maximum friction force between the tire and the road surface. The main goal of wheel slip control is to keep the operating point at a slip optimum, which corresponds to some user-defined strategy, including fuel saving, vehicle performance or other. Wheel slip control can be applied during deceleration as well as acceleration of a vehicle. A typical application of the brake slip control is its implementation for anti-lock brake control systems. Theanti-lock brake control is a part of the vehicle braking system and provides controlled braking torques to each wheel preventing the wheel from locking, i.e., from complete sliding. The braking of a spinning wheel allows the engine power to deliver to the other drive wheel or the wheels that have better road conditions.
