Abstract
A mathematical model of a vehicle being brought to rest in
such a manner as to cause a skid is devised and simulated on an
analog computer. This model includes the effects of the brake
line pressure upon the braking of the vehicle and also the effects
of the coefficients of friction between the tire and road surface
and between the brake shoe and brake drum. Several controls to
correct for the occurrence of a skid are simulated on the analog
computer and a detailed analysis of the braking system under the
influence of each control is performed. Lastly, a scheme for
implementing the control which minimizes the stop time and the
degree of skid is presented.
