This paper describes a simplified vehicle and road model which was used to develop an antilock braking algorithm for the dynamic braking of a vehicle using the electric parking brake (EPB). An adaptive slip control algorithm is derived which allows to brake a driving vehicle down to standstill with the EPB while guaranteeing the vehicle’s stability. Almost no parameters have to be tuned. Simulation results illustrate the performance of the algorithm, which was already introduced into series production in various projects.
