Sensor Control Unit for Vehicle Braking System in modern Car

Sensor Control Unit for Vehicle Braking System in Car Manufacturing

In modern vehicles, the braking system relies on sensors to monitor vital parameters such as brake pressure, wheel speed, and pedal position. However, the sensors might fail or experience intermittent issues, leading to incorrect or missing data. The goal is to create a Sensor Control Unit in MATLAB that compensates for missing or erroneous sensor data in the context of a vehicle braking system.

Problem:

• A car braking system has three main sensors: Brake Pressure Sensor (BPS), Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS), and Brake Pedal Position Sensor (BPPS).
• At times, sensor data might be corrupted or missing (e.g., faulty sensor or communication error).
• The goal is to predict missing sensor data and estimate the braking force using available data.

MATLAB Solution:

1. Simulate sensor data with occasional missing values.
2. Use linear regression to predict missing sensor data based on the available values.
3. Calculate the braking force despite missing sensor readings.
