An Anti-lock Braking System and control method are disclosed. The control method is performed after a control module intervenes a vehicle's braking system and comprises: receiving a wheel speed signal of a wheel and a vehicle acceleration signal; computing a tire-slip feedback value according to the wheel speed signal of the wheels and the vehicle acceleration signal; generating a feedback control voltage according to a tire-slip difference between a tire-slip target value and the tire-slip feedback value; generating a tire-slip compensation value by performing a differential compensation to the tire-slip feedback value; obtaining a feedforward voltage according to the tire-slip compensation value via a look-up table approach; generating a braking control voltage by adding the feedback control voltage to the feedforward voltage; and outputting the braking control voltage to a proportioning-valve brake, such that the proportioning-valve brake adjusts a braking pressure according to the braking control voltage.

Anti-lock braking system and control method thereof

A braking control method according to friction of road surface includes computing a real-time wheel speed according to a signal received from a wheel speed sensor; storing the real-time wheel speed as a wheel initial velocity when a braking event occurs; determining a relative-peak value according to the real-time wheel speed; estimating a vehicle deceleration according to the relative-peak value and the wheel initial velocity; computing an adjustment parameter according to the vehicle deceleration and a tire slip threshold, wherein the adjustment parameter reflects friction coefficient of road surface; and adjusting time length of an enhancement stage in an enhance-pressure control period of a stepped pressure-increasing phase according to the adjustment parameter; or adjusting time length of a reduction stage in a reduce-pressure control period of a stepped pressure-decreasing phase according to the adjustment parameter.
