Electronic Braking, Traction, and Stability Controls

This book contains 80 papers covering six years of research (2000-2005) on advances in electronic braking systems (including brake-by-wire and antilock braking systems), traction control systems (TCS, ASR); and stability control systems (VDC).Subjects covered include:- Wheel-slip control- Vehicle network protocols- Brake systems for hybrid vehicles- Hydraulic braking systems- Crash avoidance and rollover prevention- Fuzzy logic controllers- Torque management systems- Chassis control- Steering control- Tire-road friction estimation The book also includes editor Ronald K. Jurgen's introduction ("Interrelationships are Key") and concluding chapter on future trends in the areas of electronic braking, traction, and stability control.
