The object of this paper is to design a new hydraulic modulator and an intelligent sliding mode pulse width modulation (PWM) brake pressure controller for an anti-lock braking system, for application to light motorcycles. The paper presents a design principle and a mathematical analysis of the hydraulic anti-lock braking modulator. The intelligent sliding mode PWM brake pressure controller based on vehicle acceleration is designed and tested. A three-phase pavement experiment and a rear brake influence test are undertaken to verify the performance of the controller and the modulator. A light motorcycle is built for the real vehicle anti-lock braking experiments. The experimental results show that both the intelligent controller and the hydraulic modulator designed in the study perform well in the anti-lock braking operation.
