The Antilock Braking System (ABS) is nowadays standard equipment for passenger cars. It increases vehicle safety preventing wheels from being locked up in emergency braking, especially on low friction road surfaces, allowing the driver to maintain steering control of the vehicle, to avoid obstacles and to reduce the vehicle stopping distance.

As such, ABS is a complex control system, where there are dynamic parameters such as #BrakePressure, #BrakeTorque #WheelSpeed, #VehicleSpeed, #TypeOfSurface and many other parameters influence to study and create a model.

Course on KTM Duke 390 ABS Modeling & Simulation, specifically focuses on 100% hands-on to build the numerical model using the Scilab-Xcos and analyzing the factors such as

1. Stopping distance without ABS
2. Stopping distance with ABS
3. Stopping distance at various vehicle speeds
4. Influence of Vehicle Mass on Stopping distance
5. Studying Brake pressure at various conditions
6. Achieving the slip coefficient (adhesion coefficient between tires and road)
