Abstract

In today’s world due to advancement in automotive technology, there is a tough competition prevailing in developing high-speed vehicles. The high-speed vehicle has to perform better in terms of comfort and safety during heavy braking even in the rough road conditions. With the introduction of antilock braking system (ABS), the stopping distance of vehicle is shortened and steerability is possible under heavy braking condition, thereby avoiding collision. But the performance of ABS deteriorates in rough road conditions, where continuous contact between the wheel and the road surface is lost. There are number of parameters associated with the performance of ABS in rough roads such as fluctuation in wheel speeds , tyre parameters and type of suspension system. This paper deals with the study of various parameters and techniques that influence the performance of ABS in rough road condition. This study suggests a system that will improve the performance of ABS even in rough road conditions.
