Abstract

A method and device, using fuzzy logic, to control the value of a braking torque of a wheel of a vehicle applied to a track, the input variables being the coefficient of slippage of the wheel on the track, the first derivative of this coefficient with respect to time, the derivative of the braking torque with respect to the slippage and the value of the braking torque, the output variable being an algebraic increase of the braking torque. Application to wheeled vehicles.
