Abstract
A fuzzy-based control system in a motor vehicle for controlling a speed comprises a brake pressure measurement unit, a signal processing unit and a control unit. The brake pressure measurement unit is adapted as a finite state machine to measure a current brake pressure of a brake of a wheel of the motor vehicle dependent on a trigger. The signal processing unit is adapted to estimate a current adhesion value μ between a tyre associated with the wheel and the current ground, based on the current brake pressure of the brake and further measurement values. The estimating comprises an inference based on fuzzy rules and a fuzzification, a subsequently a defuzzification of the inference. The control unit is adapted to control a speed of the motor vehicle or the brake pressure of the brake, based on the estimated current adhesion value μ.
