Abstract:  The pressure gradient of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) was experimentally studied using an ABS hydraulic test bench for various conditions including normal brake, on-off brake, and step brake. The pressure gradient was analyzed with the master cylinder pressure and solenoid step pulse width being changed. The results show that for the normal brake, on-off brake, and step brake conditions, the pressure gradient achieves the maximum limit with the master cylinder pressure of 8, 12 and 15 MPa, respectively. The pressure gradient for the pressurization and decompression steps in the pulse width significantly increases with increasing master cylinder pressure. The results provide an important experimental reference for fine-tuning and precise theoretical modelling of ABS wheel cylinder pressure.
