Abstract
Because of their substantial weight and high centers of gravity, commercial vehicles require braking systems that ensure maximum performance and safety. Accurate braking control is vital for preserving safe vehicle dynamics by preventing lateral instability due to excessive deceleration or rear-wheel lock-up. Considering the growing demand for safety in medium-duty commercial vehicles, we introduce a rule-based dynamic braking controller for pneumatic electronic parking brake (EPB) systems. The proposed system is established using a model-based design (MBD) framework involving a V-cycle development process. The rule-based controller is designed to control the braking force based on wheel slip, thereby ensuring both adequate braking distance and lateral stability during emergency braking. Simulations and real-vehicle tests confirmed that the proposed control strategy can maintain lateral stability across varying loading and road-surface conditions. The results highlight the dynamic braking capability of the proposed pneumatic EPB system and its feasibility as an emergency braking solution. The effectiveness of the proposed controller in preventing wheel lock supports the use of MBD for developing safety-aware controllers.
