Design and Experimental Research on a New Integrated EBS with High Response Speed

Abstract

With the development of the automotive industry, the performance of commercial vehicle braking systems is crucial for road traffic safety. However, traditional braking systems are no longer able to meet the growing demand for response speed, control accuracy, and adaptability to complex operating conditions. To this end, this article focuses on improving the braking performance of commercial vehicles, designs and develops a new integrated high-response-speed EBS, explains its structure and function, proposes a pressure delay compensation control method for wire-controlled braking systems, establishes relevant models, designs control processes, and conducts braking simulations. Braking experiments are also conducted on a commercial 6 × 4 tractor on different road surfaces. The research results show that the system has good braking response performance under typical working conditions such as low adhesion, high adhesion, and opposite docking. The braking time is short (for example, the initial braking time at 40 km/h on high-adhesion roads is only 2.209 s, and the initial braking time at 50 km/h on opposite roads is 6.68 s), and the braking safety performance is superior, meeting the requirements of relevant standards. The contribution of this study lies in the proposed time delay compensation control method for wire-controlled braking, which effectively solves the problem of low control accuracy caused by time delay in wire-controlled braking systems. The integrated EBS designed integrates multiple functions, improves driving safety and comfort, and provides strong support for the upgrade of commercial vehicle braking technology, with good application prospects.
