abstract = {This paper presents a human-in-the-loop (HITL) validation of an innovative force-based ABS based on Sliding Mode Control (SMC) using a dynamic driving simulator. The SMC ABS integrates tire force measurement into the control loop and is compared to a conventional Rule-Based (RB) ABS. Eight non-professional drivers participated in the experiment, testing both ABS systems on four braking maneuvers: straight braking on dry tarmac, straight braking on wet tarmac, µ-split and turn braking on dry tarmac. Drivers were asked to follow a target trajectory and perform several emergency braking maneuvers. The simulator provided an immersive experience, including a realistic brake pedal feedback, designed for the experiment. All drivers achieved shorter braking distances with the SMC ABS compared to the RB ABS, with improvements ranging from 10.2% to 11.8% depending on the maneuver typology. An analysis of the drivers’ subjective preferences was conducted. The results reveal a general preference for the SMC ABS due to its perceived braking effectiveness, superior pedal feedback, and improved vehicle controllability. This latter aspect was further confirmed by the reduced steering angle required during the µ-split maneuver for all the drivers, which is the most demanding in terms of driving control.},
