Design and experimental evaluation of a fuzzy logic pressure controller for the Airbus 310/320 braking control system

We show here the design and preliminary experimental evaluation steps of a fuzzy controller for the pressure loop of a proposed new Airbus A310/A320 modular braking system. The results indicated that two main requirements of this system could be achieved:
• pressure control with high robustness in the case of hydraulic load fluctuations, and;
• highly modular characteristics, since the same fuzzy controller can be used in both aircraft by doing only a simplified tuning of one of its gain parameters.
