Rapid feature introduction in telecommunication networks

Method and apparatus for control of anti-skid vehicle braking system

An electronic control for a wheel controlled by an anti-skid hydraulic braking system has an input that always corresponds to rotational speed of the wheel and issues a brake-releasing input to a hydraulic regulator when the rate of deceleration of the wheel under braking force is substantially equal to the rate at which the wheel would decelerate when its sliding on a high friction road surface attained the peak of the curve of sliding effect versus coefficient of friction. An input commanding reapplication of braking force is issued when rotational speed of the accelerating wheel is equal to the rotational speed the wheel would have attained if it had decelerated from the rotational speed it had when the last previous brake releasing input was issued, through the time since that input, at a rate corresponding to best attainable deceleration of the vehicle on a surface affording the worst possible braking conditions.

A method and arrangement of automatically actuating a vehicle wheel brake with the aim of preventing the wheel from skidding.

Le procédé automatique ci-décrit empêche le dérapage des roues durant le freinage (7) et l'accélération (8). On détermine (1) la vitesse de rotation instantanée des roues et on calcule à partir de celle-ci la variation (3) de la vitesse absolue instantanée. Durant le freinage, le frein est desserré (9) automatiquement, soit lorsque la vitesse de rotation diminue de telle sorte que la variation (3) de la vitesse est supérieure (5) à une valeur prédéterminée (4) ou lorsque la vitesse de rotation s'approche de zéro (10) alors que le véhicule n'est pas encore arrêté, et le frein est actionné (11), lorsque la vitesse de rotation augmente jusqu'à une valeur prédéterminée après le desserrement (9) du frein. Durant l'accélération (8), le frein est desserré lorsque la vitesse de rotation diminue (12) pour atteindre ladite valeur (4) après l'actionnement (11) du frein, et le frein est actionné lorsque la vitesse de rotation augmente, de telle sorte que la variation (3) de la vitesse est supérieure à ladite valeur (40). Le frein n'est pas sollicité (6), lorsque la variation (3) de la vitesse est inférieure (5) à ladite valeur (4). Selon la présente invention, le frein est actionné (11) lors du freinage (7) ou desserré (9) lors de l'accélération (8), dès lors qu'une période prédéterminée (14) s'est écoulée (13) après le desserrement (9) et l'actionnement (11) du frein, ladite période étant représentée par un pourcentage en temps d'augmentation additionné à la période qui s'est écoulée depuis un desserrement/actionnement antérieurs durant le freinage (7) ou depuis un actionnement/desserrement antérieurs durant l'accélération. The described automatic method prevents the wheels from skidding during braking (7) and acceleration (8). The instantaneous speed of rotation of the wheels is determined (1) and the variation (3) of the instantaneous absolute speed is calculated from this. During braking, the brake is released (9) ...
