Lyapunov-Stable Adaptive Fractional-Order Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Control for Robust Anti-Lock Braking Under Uncertain Road Adhesion Conditions
Abstract: This paper proposes a Lyapunov-stable Adaptive Fractional-Order Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller (FO-IT2FLC) for robust anti-lock braking system (ABS) control under nonlinear vehicle dynamics and uncertain road adhesion conditions. The proposed framework integrates fractional-order error dynamics to capture memory-dependent tire–road interaction, interval Type-2 fuzzy inference to model uncertainty via footprint-of-uncertainty representation, and a Lyapunov-based adaptive learning mechanism for real-time parameter tuning. A rigorous stability proof guarantees boundedness of all closed-loop …
