Abstract
A method of boundary self-adaptation for proportional poppet valve pressure control comprises implementing an estimator to estimate a boundary deviation of the valve. Then, a pressure command signal is detected. Next, a pressure command derivative over time is obtained. Then, determining which closing boundary should be updated is decided based on the sign of the pressure command derivative. Next, a pressure error is obtained by subtracting an actual wheel brake pressure from its pressure command. Then a modified pressure error is calculated. Next, a pressure command signal is evaluated to determine whether a braking maneuver is gentle. Next, the modified pressure error is implemented in the estimation. Finally, a boundary table is updated using the resultant boundary deviation estimate.
