OLMOS, L.  and  ALVAREZ-LCAZA, L.. Optimal emergency vehicle braking control based on dynamic friction model. J. appl. res. technol [online]. 2005, vol.3, n.1, pp.15-26. ISSN 2448-6736.

A dynamic friction model for the tire-road interface is used in an optimal control scheme for emergency braking of vehicles. The controller sets a target relative velocity curve that the vehicle must track in order to achieve braking in minimum time. It is shown that this curve corresponds to the solution of a minimum time optimal control problem. The final goal of the control is to improve the safety levels in highway transportation.

Keywords : Optimal control; Vehicular control; Dynamic friction model.
