APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR CONTROLLING BRAKING OF VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17739492 titled 'APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR CONTROLLING BRAKING OF VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus for controlling the braking of a vehicle in track mode. Here are the key points:
- The apparatus includes a driving information detector that detects a braking request from the driver while the vehicle is in motion.
- A vehicle controller is responsible for controlling the braking of the vehicle based on the detected braking request.
- The vehicle controller calculates the total required torque, which is the sum of the regenerative braking torque generated by the vehicle's motor and the friction braking torque applied by the vehicle's brake.
- In response to the detected braking request, the vehicle controller decreases the braking force applied by the friction braking by relatively decreasing the friction braking torque.
- This is achieved by increasing the regenerative braking torque of the total required torque.
- The regenerative braking torque in track mode is greater than the regenerative braking torque in non-track mode.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This technology can be applied to electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles that have regenerative braking capabilities.
- It can be used in vehicles that are designed for track use, such as sports cars or race cars.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The technology allows for more efficient braking control in track mode by optimizing the use of regenerative braking and friction braking.
- It addresses the challenge of providing precise and responsive braking performance in high-performance vehicles.
Benefits of this technology:
- By increasing the regenerative braking torque and decreasing the friction braking torque, the technology improves the overall energy efficiency of the vehicle.
- It allows for smoother and more controlled braking in track mode, enhancing the driving experience and safety.
- The technology helps to extend the lifespan of the brake system by reducing the reliance on friction braking.
Original Abstract Submitted
A an apparatus of controlling a braking of a vehicle traveling in track mode includes a driving information detector configured to detect a braking request from a driver while the vehicle is driving; and a vehicle controller configured to, when the braking request is detected, control the braking of the vehicle according to a total required torque in response to the detected braking request, wherein the total required torque is a sum of a regenerative braking torque by a motor of the vehicle and a friction braking torque by a brake of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle controller is configured to decrease braking force by friction braking by relatively decreasing friction braking torque by increasing the regenerative braking torque of the total required torque, and wherein the regenerative braking torque is greater than a regenerative braking torque in non-track mode.
