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. The apparatus includes a driving information detector that detects a braking request from the driver while the vehicle is in motion. A vehicle controller then controls the braking of the vehicle based on the detected braking request.

  • The braking control is based on a total required torque, which is the sum of a regenerative braking torque generated by the vehicle's motor and a friction braking torque applied by the vehicle's brake.
  • The vehicle controller is designed to decrease the braking force applied by the friction braking by relatively decreasing the friction braking torque and 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

  • This technology can be applied in vehicles that have a track mode, such as high-performance sports cars or racing cars.
  • It can also be used in autonomous vehicles that operate in track mode for racing or performance purposes.

Problems Solved

  • The apparatus solves the problem of efficiently controlling the braking of a vehicle in track mode.
  • By adjusting the regenerative braking torque and friction braking torque, the apparatus ensures optimal braking performance while maximizing energy regeneration.

Benefits

  • The apparatus allows for precise and efficient braking control in track mode, enhancing the overall performance and safety of the vehicle.
  • By increasing the regenerative braking torque, the apparatus promotes energy regeneration, which can improve the vehicle's overall efficiency and reduce energy consumption.


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.
