Development and Test of ABS/TCS Controller with Dual-Axis Dynamometer HIL Platform 2023-01-0824

This paper describes a Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) platform based on the dual-axis dynamometer for development and validation of ABS/TCS controllers. Antilock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS) are standard equipment for passenger vehicles. The ABS, an anti-skid braking assistance system, promotes safety by preventing the locking of wheels during braking. TCS is a control system that prevents the wheels from slipping by moderating driving power to the one that is losing its grip on the road. The real-time platform is based on a dSPACE vehicle model and the simulation environment, and it consists of an actual drive motor, hydraulic braking system and Chroma dual-axis dynamometer test bench, which provide more realistic and complicated conditions than the one-axis platform. With dual-axis architecture, it could effectively perform simulation results of model on two axes. In addition, this HIL system could evaluate the different control logics and performance of developed controllers on the real drive and brake control unit.
