The idea was suggested to me by a professor who noted that an accurate, open-source ABS model would aid his research. To achieve this, I based the ABS control loop on a Bosch algorithm described in engineering literature and ran simulations using the open-source software &ldquo;Speed Dreams 2&rdquo;, which features advanced vehicle physics.</p>
