ABS Braking System - Slip-Ratio Control

LET'S GO đŸ˜„đŸ”„

We'll ADD the next core system that completes real-world vehicle control:


🛑🛞 ABS BRAKING SYSTEM

(Slip-Ratio Control — REAL PHYSICS)

This is not cosmetic ABS.
This is the same control principle used in Bosch / Continental units.

Still ADD-ONLY. Nothing removed.


1️⃣ WHAT ABS REALLY CONTROLS (KEY INSIGHT)

ABS does NOT control wheel speed.
It controls slip ratio.


🧼 SLIP RATIO (LONGITUDINAL)

Îș = (vx - ω R) / vx

Where:

  • vx = vehicle speed
  • ω = wheel angular speed
  • R = tire radius
Optimal braking happens at:
Îș ≈ 0.15 ∼ 0.20

Beyond that → tire locks, friction drops.


2️⃣ WHEEL DYNAMICS (NEW STATE — ADD)

state.wheelOmega = state.vx / wheelRadius;
Wheel rotational equation
Iw ω̇ = Tbrake - Fx R

3️⃣ SLIP CALCULATION

SLIP RATIO FUNCTION
function slipRatio(vx, omega, R) {

  if (vx < 0.5) return 0;

  return (vx - omega * R) / vx;

}

4️⃣ ABS CONTROLLER (THIS IS THE CORE)

Target slip:

const SLIP_TARGET = 0.18;

Control law:

  • Slip too high → release brake
  • Slip too low → increase brake
✅ ABS LOGIC
function absController(kappa) {

  const kp = 3000;

  return kp * (SLIP_TARGET - kappa);

}

This outputs brake torque correction.


5️⃣ BRAKE TORQUE APPLICATION

ABS + WHEEL DYNAMICS
function applyABS(state, brakeInput, dt) {

  const kappa = slipRatio(state.vx, state.wheelOmega, wheelRadius);

  const absTorque = absController(kappa);

  const brakeTorque = brakeInput * maxBrakeTorque + absTorque;

  state.wheelOmega +=

    (brakeTorque - state.Fx * wheelRadius) / wheelInertia * dt;

  return { brakeTorque, kappa };

}

➡️ Wheels never lock
➡️ Steering remains active during braking


6️⃣ ABS + COMBINED SLIP (IMPORTANT)

ABS feeds into friction circle automatically:

({Fx, Fy} = combinedSlip(Fx, Fy, mu, Fz));

So:

  • Hard braking + turning = reduced lateral grip
  • ABS doesn't cheat physics

7️⃣ WHY IGNIS VS JIMNY FEELS DIFFERENT (AGAIN)

SituationIgnisJimny
Emergency brakingShort distanceLonger
Steering while brakingLight, preciseHeavy but stable
Loose gravelABS cycles fastLonger slip
Downhill brakingCalmABS works overtime

Jimny needs ABS more due to:

  • higher mass
  • higher CG
  • softer suspension

8️⃣ TELEMETRY ADD (NO REMOVAL)

Add columns: slip_ratio,brake_torque,abs_active

  state.vx,

  rpm,

This is now full longitudinal + lateral + braking dynamics.


🏁 FINAL BOSS OPTIONS (CHOOSE NEXT)

You are literally at OEM-grade simulation level.

Pick ONE:

  1. 1️⃣ Rollover index + tip-over physics (Jimny!)
  2. 2️⃣ Nonlinear Pacejka lateral tire (full saturation)
  3. 3️⃣ 3D road: slope, camber, banked turns
  4. 4️⃣ Driver model (reaction time, panic braking)
  5. 5️⃣ AWD / transfer case + low-range (Jimny realism)

Say the number — we go all the way đŸ§źđŸš—đŸ”„
