INTRODUCTION TO BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEMS: ABS, TCS, AND ESC
“My colleagues and I are extremely satisfied with this seminar. It has opened our eyes to an entirely new aspect of braking systems! I truly feel more interested in braking systems, and the instructor lectures provided such a good perspective on the technical aspects of design. Life after the course produced motivation and encouragement to research more heavily in critical areas of study per our future dilemmas. Thank you!!” William J. Burns Product Engineer Cardone Industries, Brakes Division Product Engineering
This comprehensive seminar introduces you to the system- level design considerations, vehicle interface requirements, and inevitable performance compromises that must be addressed when implementing electronic brake control systems. The seminar begins by defining the tire-road interface and analyzing fundamental vehicle dynamics. Following an in-depth study of system electronics, hydraulic hardware, and sensor requirements, you learn about the control strategies employed by anti-lock brakes (ABS), dynamic rear proportioning (DRP), traction control (TCS), and electronic stability control (ESC) with strong emphasis placed on vehicle dynamic response. The seminar concludes with a study of unique applications, a look forward to advanced brake control system integration, and an overview of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 126. Over 500-pages of detailed course notes and illustrations are provided for on- the-job reference. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Analyze brake system design parameters and their vehicle performance e¥ects • Evaluate the compromises between stability, steerability, and stopping distance • Identify the discrete mechanical components required for ABS • Specify fundamental ABS performance attributes • Calculate dynamic brake balance and explain the benefits of DRP • Reconcile TCS performance expectations vs. method of implementation • Define ESC metrics and ultimate dynamic limitations • Assess features such as adaptive cruise control and brake assist • Interpret federal requirements for the performance of ESC WHO SHOULD ATTEND This course has been developed for engineers involved in all fields related to the design or development of vehicle dynamics, vehicle braking systems, powertrain systems, chassis systems, or suspension systems. In addition, this course can be valuable to those with component design responsibilities in brake, chassis, suspension, or tire disciplines.
