  • Publication number: 20230303043
    Abstract: A method for controlling wheel slip in a braking system of a vehicle includes receiving, by an input interface module of a slip control module, information representative of the vehicle and information representative of an estimate of the status of the vehicle, outputting, by the input interface module, input wheel slip control information, determining, by a parameter self-loading module, based on information representative of the vehicle and information representative of an estimate of the status of the vehicle, wheel slip control parameters, determining, by a plurality of wheel slip control enabling modules of the slip control module, a plurality of enabling signals of the wheel slip control, and determining, by each closed-loop wheel slip control module of a plurality of closed-loop wheel slip control modules of the slip control module a setpoint value of a control variable to be applied to a respective corner of the vehicle to minimize error between the defined slip setpoint and the estimated wheel slip v

  • Patent number: 11440519
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a brake assist system (1) for cyclist on a bicycle (100) including a braking system (101) having a braking member (105) capable of exerting a braking force (FB) on a front wheel (101) of the bicycle (100) by the effect of a force (Fc) applied by the cyclist on a lever (103). The system (1) includes a sensor (2) for measuring the angular speed (?1) of the front wheel (101) of the bicycle (100); an actuator (3) capable of exerting an actuator force (FA), connectable to said braking system of the bicycle so that the actuator force (FA) opposes the force (Fc) applied by the cyclist on the lever (103), in order to reduce the braking force (FB); and a control module (4) configured for receiving, as an input, the signal representative of the angular speed (?1) of the front wheel (101) and for determining from this a deceleration (?) of the front wheel (101).
