Abstract
Abstract An antiskid brake control system of a vehicle includes a detecting section for sensing or estimating various parameters such as vehicle speed, wheel speed, wheel slip rate, first time derivatives of the vehicle speed and wheel speed, and second time derivative of the vehicle speed and wheel speed, a control section for determining a manipulated quantity by a fuzzy inference based on the values of the parameters, and a modulator section for varying a brake fluid pressure in accordance with the manipulated quantity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
An antiskid brake control system for a vehicle, comprising; sensing means for sensing behaviors of a vehicle body and a vehicle wheel of the vehicle, preparing means connected with said sensing means for determining parameters representing the behaviors of the vehicle body and wheel, fuzzy inference means for storing predetermined membership functions each of which is a function of one of said parameters, determining values of said membership functions by using said parameters, and determining a manipulated quantity in accordance with said values of said membership functions, and modulator means for varying a brake actuation force applied to said vehicle wheel in accordance with said manipulated quantity.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
An antiskid brake control system for a vehicle, comprising; sensing means for sensing behaviors of a vehicle body and a vehicle wheel of the vehicle, preparing means connected with said sensing means for determining parameters representing the behaviors of the vehicle body and wheel, fuzzy inference means for storing predetermined membership functions each of which is a function of one of said parameters, determining values of said membership functions by using said parameters, and determining a manipulated quantity in accordance with said values of said membership functions, and modulator means for varying a brake actuation force applied to said vehicle wheel in accordance with said manipulated quantity.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
77 words
An antiskid brake control system according to claim 1 wherein said preparing means provides, as said parameter, a vehicle body speed, a wheel speed, a slip rate of said wheel, a first derivative of said vehicle body speed with respect to time, a second derivative of said vehicle body speed with respect to time, a first derivative of said wheel speed with respect to time, and a second derivative of said wheel speed with respect to time.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
111 words
An antiskid brake control system according to claim 2 wherein said fuzzy inference means comprises means for storing a plurality of groups of membership functions, each of said groups representing a conditional proposition, and comprising a first antecedent membership function corresponding to an antecedent of said proposition, and a consequent membership function corresponding to a consequent of said proposition, said fuzzy inference means determining values of said antecedent membership functions in accordance with values of said parameters, and determining an output variable from the value of said antecedent membership function by using said consequent membership function in each group, and determining said manipulated quantity from said output variables of said groups.
