Popis: Autonomous vehicles require more precise and reliable braking control, and electro-hydraulic braking (EHB) systems are better adapted to the development of autonomous driving. However, EHB systems inevitably suffer from unilateral dead zone nonlinearity, which adversely affects the position tracking control. Therefore, a finite-time adaptive control strategy was designed for unilateral dead zone nonlinearity. Initially, the unilateral dead zone nonlinearity was reformulated into a matched disturbance term and an unmatched disturbance term to reduce the adverse effects of disturbances, thereby enhancing system controllability. Then, the “complexity explosion” in the design of the control strategy was avoided by command filtering, and the design process of the controller was simplified. Furthermore, the finite-time control theory was employed to boost the system’s convergence speed, thereby enhancing control performance. In order to ensure the stability of the system under the dead zone disturbance, the unknown disturbance terms were estimated. The stability of the control strategy was validated through the finite-time stability theorem and the Lyapunov function. Eventually, simulations and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experiments validated the feasibility and availability of the finite-time adaptive control strategy.
