A GENERAL-PURPOSE SIMULATION FOR ANTISKID BRAKING SYSTEMS

A general purpose digital computer program for simulating the wheel sensor, control logic, and pressure modulator characteristics of antiskid systems is presented. The flexibility of the program is demonstrated by simulation results which reproduced the basic features exhibited by three antiskid systems tested in a laboratory setting. A final example showing the simulation result achieved using a proportional controller scheme for pressure modulation is also included.
