Abstract:
1. A braking control method, implemented by a braking computer, for a vehicle having a plurality of wheels fitted with tires and with brakes, the control method including generating for each wheel a braking setpoint in response to a braking order, said generation comprising: regularly updating a grip model representative of a relationship between a coefficient of friction and a wheel slip rate; determining, with said braking computer, with an iterative calculation process comprising a plurality of calculation cycles a variation of the braking setpoint in a given prediction horizon, said variation of the braking setpoint in the given prediction horizon being established using the regularly updated grip model and its characteristic shape and so that said variation of the braking setpoint in the given prediction horizon complies with the braking order and complies with a given calculation constraint which is function of said wheel slip rate; and retaining as the generated braking setpoint a value of the braking setpoint in said given prediction horizon which corresponds to a first calculation cycle of the plurality of calculation cycles of said iterative calculation process.
