Development of a bicycle anti-lock braking system prototype
Journal Title: International Journal of Automotive Engineering and Technologies - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
In order to satisfy the increasing need for security and comfort the active safety systems of the smaller vehicles like the motorbikes, scooters, e-bikes and bicycles have an intensively studied research topic over the last decade. This paper describes the development of a hydraulic type anti-lock braking system (ABS) prototype for bicycle applications. Based on vehicle dynamics of bicycles, a mechanical model has been built and a novel ABS control algorithm was designed. This algorithm is based on a newly developed reference speed calculation method which uses the angular acceleration values of the wheels. The proper operation of the algorithm is proved through simulations and based on the results a prototype was built. In the prototype system the algorithm was implemented on an external controller module which involves a Continental-developed motorbike hydraulic electronic control unit. The functionality of the prototype system has been verified on a test track in several real road surface conditions such as dry and wet asphalt, grassy ground and dirt road.
