Samenvatting
This work was undertaken to develop antilock brakes for motorcycles utilizing the advantages of fluidics technology. Based on results of computer analyses and instrumented braking tests, angular acceleration was selected to initiate brake control. The control system components being developed are comprised of a unique pneumatic /fluidic velocimeter, a fluidic differentiation circuit, a fluidic amplifier, and a fluidic /electric threshold detector for toggle control of brake pressure. The development status of these components is discussed.
