ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE AND REGENERATIVE BRAKING CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18099437 titled 'ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE AND REGENERATIVE BRAKING CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electrified vehicle and a regenerative braking control method that adjusts regenerative braking torque based on the number of times a brake lamp turns on/off during regenerative braking in a travel environment.

  • The innovation involves performing regenerative braking based on the travel environment while driving.
  • The method determines the number of turn-on/off times of a brake lamp for a reference time during regenerative braking.
  • The regenerative braking torque of a drive motor is adjusted based on the determined number of turn-on/off times of the brake lamp.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and other electrified vehicles to improve energy efficiency and extend battery life.

Problems Solved

1. Enhances regenerative braking efficiency. 2. Optimizes energy usage in electrified vehicles.

Benefits

1. Increased energy efficiency. 2. Extended battery life. 3. Enhanced driving experience.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Regenerative Braking Control Method for Electrified Vehicles" can be utilized in the automotive industry for electric and hybrid vehicles to enhance performance and energy efficiency.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include regenerative braking systems in electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles that do not consider the number of brake lamp activations for adjusting regenerative braking torque.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact overall vehicle performance?

This technology improves energy efficiency and battery life in electrified vehicles, leading to better performance and longer driving range.

What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in vehicles?

The cost implications may include initial investment in integrating the regenerative braking control method into vehicle systems, but the long-term benefits in energy savings and extended battery life may outweigh the initial costs.
