Abstract

To perform fault tolerance for Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), This paper proposes a hybrid Fault Detection and Fault Tolerant Control (FD-FTC) for ABS speed sensors. It utilizes a Fault Detection (FD) unit and a Data Construction (DC) unit. The first one, the FD unit, is based on a kNN classifier model with 99.9% fault detection accuracy to perform three tasks: early fault detection, fault location diagnosis, and excluding faulty signals from being utilized in further processes. On the other hand, the second one, the DC Unit, is based on two separate neural network models. These models have an MSE of 2.01139e-1 and a R2 of 999880 for the first model and an MSE of 1.12486e-0 and 0.999586 for the second model. They are employed to provide an estimated alternative signal for the ABS speed sensors. These estimated signals are employed to perform two tasks: confirming fault detection declared by the FD model and compensating for the excluded faulty signal to fulfill fault accommodation. Both methods are trained and tested with MATLAB and Simulink. Results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid method has the ability to accurately detect and tolerate sensor faults and fulfill its design purpose, especially during emergency braking.
