The Chrysler “Sure-Brake” - The First Production Four-Wheel Anti-Skid System

Effectiveness of Antilock Braking Systems in Reducing Motorcycle Fatal Crash Rates

“…These systems allow riders to apply brakes fully in an emergency without fear of wheel lock. ABS was first developed for commercial aircraft in 1929 (Maslen 2008) and was first implemented in production automobiles with the 1971 Chrysler Imperial (Douglas and Schafer 1971). BMW was the first manufacturer to implement ABS on a motorcycle with its K100RS Special model in 1988 (Tuttle 2001).…”

Unpacking reliability: The success of Robert Bosch, GmbH in constructing antilock braking systems as reliable products

“…18 In developing the sure-brake, engineers at Chrysler and Bendix had several design decisions to make in order to initiate a testing scheme. 19 They had to decide whether the system involved two or four wheels-and the performance advantages of four-wheel systems were undeniable. They had to commit to the type of sensors-mechanical or electrical-and they chose electrical.…”

Fuzzy Friction Controllers For Semi-active Seismic Isolation Systems

“…Moreover, because the function of the VFD damper is to dissipate kinetic energy and to mitigate the motion of the isolation system, this is similar to the function of a braking system in an automobile. For this reason, the fuzzy rules of the proposed controllers are developed based on the concept of an antilock braking system (ABS), which is an efficient braking system widely used in the automobile industry (Douglas and Schafer, 1971). In fact, some researchers have suggested the usage of fuzzy logic controllers for the control of ABS systems (Mauer, 1995;Mirzaei et al, 2006).…”
