Abstract

A braking system may include a controller, a first wheel and a second wheel. The first wheel may be laterally displaced from the second wheel by a first distance. A first wheel speed sensor may be coupled to the first wheel and a second wheel sensor may be coupled to the second wheel. The controller may be configured to determine at least one of a slip ratio, a coefficient of friction, or a braking pressure of the second wheel in response to failure of the first wheel speed sensor. The controller may be configured to calculate a consistency value of the at least one of the slip ratio, the coefficient of friction, or the braking pressure. The controller may be configured to adjust a braking pressure of the first wheel speed sensor based upon the consistency value and the first distance.

Claims (11)

1. A braking system comprising:

a controller;

a first wheel and a second wheel, the first wheel displaced from the second wheel in at least one of a forward direction or an aft direction by a distance;

a first wheel speed sensor coupled to the first wheel and a second wheel sensor coupled to the second wheel;

wherein the controller is configured to determine a braking data comprising at least one of a slip ratio, a coefficient of friction, or a braking pressure of the second wheel in response to failure of the first wheel speed sensor;

wherein the controller is configured to calculate a consistency value of the at least one of the slip ratio, the coefficient of friction, or the braking pressure, wherein the consistency value comprises a standard deviation of a sample of the braking data for the first wheel and the braking data for the second wheel;

wherein the controller is configured to adjust the braking pressure applied to the first wheel based upon the consistency value and the distance.

2. The braking system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to adjust the braking pressure applied to the first wheel as a proportion of the braking pressure applied to the second wheel.

3. The braking system of claim 1 , wherein the first wheel is disposed on a different landing gear than the second wheel.

4. The braking system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine at least one of a slip ratio, a coefficient of friction, or a braking pressure of a third wheel, the third wheel being laterally displaced from the first wheel.

5. The braking system of claim 4 , wherein the consistency value is determined using a weighting factor with the at least one of the slip ratio, the coefficient of friction, or the braking pressure associated with the third wheel.
