1. Introduction

In terms of traction and brake control systems, four-wheel vehicles have a clear advantage with regards to motorcycles. The present trend is that most car manufacturers are incorporating, together with ABS, additional systems such as ESP (Electronic Stability Program), CWS (Collision Warning System), CAS (Collision Avoidance System) or AHS (Automated Highway System). The main problem of two-wheel vehicles comes from the fact that these vehicles require more complex modeling with respect to automobiles whose performance is easier than the first ones. However, there is a strong interest in the development and implementation of these systems in motorcycles, especially to improve active safety in these vehicles. As expected, the control algorithm is the main part of systems in motorcycles, especially to improve active safety in these vehicles. As expected, the control algorithm is the main part of any traction control system. It is the one that decides how to perform in the system. This paper presents a novel traction control algorithm based on the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Logic. An ANN is used to estimate the optimal slip of the surface the vehicle is moving on. A fuzzy logic control block, which makes use of the optimal slip provided by the ANN, is developed to control the throttle position.

2. Parameters estimation

For this work, the longitudinal and vertical acceleration and pitch rate are used to obtain the slip and friction coefficient using an extended Kalman

Using the IMMa experimental motorcycle, several tests have been carried out on road.

coefficient using an extended Kalman filter (EKF) and a three-degree-of- freedom longitudinal-vertical motorcycle model to simulate the vehicle when moving in a straight line. Several simulations have been done with BikeSim® and Matlab® to test the accuracy of the model.

As shown in the figure below, the EKF implemented in the real-time computer, estimates the velocity of the vehicle during accelerations perfectly. The traction force, wheel vertical forces and slip coefficient are also estimated by the EKF.

4. Road type estimation

The knowledge of the type of contact between tire and road is fundamental. In this work, the estimation is carried out using artificial neural networks. The network that we proposed is a feed forward neural network composed of three layers.

5. Traction Control System

A fuzzy-logic based traction control system has been implemented. Its goal is to maintain the rear wheel slip ratio as near as possible from its optimal value according to the Burckhardt model. For this purpose, the control performs on the servo-assisted carburator installed on the motorcycle and hence modifying the torque on the rear wheel.

Two control blocks have been tuned. The first control block has been tuned according to the experience of an expert operator while the second one
