VEHICLE, A METHOD OF CONTROLLING A VEHICLE, AND A METHOD OF CONTROLLING VEHICLE BRAKING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18076158 titled 'VEHICLE, A METHOD OF CONTROLLING A VEHICLE, AND A METHOD OF CONTROLLING VEHICLE BRAKING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for controlling vehicle braking using a combination of regenerative braking and hydraulic braking, along with automatic vehicle hold control. Here are the key points:
- When a vehicle stop request is made by manipulating a paddle shifter, the method initiates deceleration of the vehicle using regenerative braking.
- Once the vehicle reaches a certain speed (referred to as the first speed), the method switches to hydraulic braking to bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
- After the vehicle is stopped, automatic vehicle hold control is activated to maintain the stopped state of the vehicle.
- The method combines the use of regenerative braking and hydraulic braking to optimize energy efficiency and reduce wear on the braking system.
- The automatic vehicle hold control feature eliminates the need for the driver to continuously apply the brakes when the vehicle is stopped, providing convenience and reducing driver fatigue.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This method can be applied to various types of vehicles, including electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, to improve their braking performance and energy efficiency.
- It can be implemented in both passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles, offering benefits to a wide range of users.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The method addresses the challenge of efficiently decelerating a vehicle and bringing it to a stop while maximizing energy recovery through regenerative braking.
- It solves the problem of driver fatigue and inconvenience caused by having to continuously apply the brakes when the vehicle is stopped.
Benefits of this technology:
- The use of regenerative braking helps to recover and store energy that would otherwise be wasted during braking, improving the overall energy efficiency of the vehicle.
- The combination of regenerative braking and hydraulic braking optimizes the braking performance, ensuring a smooth and controlled stop.
- The automatic vehicle hold control feature enhances convenience and reduces driver fatigue by automatically maintaining the stopped state of the vehicle without the need for continuous brake application.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of controlling vehicle braking includes decelerating a vehicle to a first speed by using regenerative braking when a vehicle stop request is generated by a manipulation of a paddle shifter, stopping the vehicle by using hydraulic braking when the vehicle is decelerated to the first speed, and maintaining a stopped state of the vehicle by automatic vehicle hold control when the vehicle is stopped.
