Design of PID Fuzzy Controller for Electric Vehicle Brake Control System Based on Parallel Structure of PI Fuzzy and PD Fuzzy

Abstract

There exist several problems in the control of vehicle brake including the development of control logic for anti-lock braking system (ABS), base-braking and intelligent braking. Here we study the intelligent braking control where we seek to develop a controller that can ensure that the braking torque commended by the driver will be achieved. In particular, we develop, a new PID Fuzzy controller (PIDFC) based on parallel operation of PI Fuzzy and PD Fuzzy control. Two fuzzy rule bases are constructed by separating the linguistic control rule for PID Fuzzy control into two parts: The first part is e-Δe and the second part is Δ²e-Δe respectively. Then two Fuzzy controls employing these rules bases individually are synthesized and run in parallel. The incremental control input is determined by taking weighted mean of the outputs of two Fuzzy controls. The result, which proves the merit of the proposed method are compared to those found in the previous research.
