The performance of Hydraulic Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is important to vehicle brake safety. In this paper, finite element models and simulation models for studying dynamic response of solenoid valve, a critical part of ABS, are established. Based on the calculation results, which are proved in experiment, several effective methods for improving the performance of the solenoid valve are presented. Furthermore, an ABS-vehicle model is developed to study the influence of hydraulic ABS parameters on braking effect. The simulation results have good agreement with the data of in-vehicle driving experiments.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is an important control system that can improve the automotive performance, reliability and safety obviously. Hardware-in-the-loop Simulation (HILS) testing is a promising method to assistant design automotive electronics system. In the State Key Laboratory of Automotive Safety and Energy, a HILS system was established to assistant design ABS. The HILS system is composed of a hydraulic control unit of ABS, a normal brake system, a commercial personal computer, a data acquisition card, and several signal-conditioning modules. Powerful software was programmed to perform managing input and output signals, solving 7-freedom and 15-freedom vehicle models, and acquiring response signals of the brake system. Based on the simulations of HILS system, the road experiments with the same conditions of ABS are very necessary and important.
