Electric vehicle brake control, with energy recuperation
DRIVE
June 29, 2005
The device has position sensors (50, 40) for measuring stroke of an accelerator pedal (5) and a brake pedal (4) respectively. A logic controller (3) adjusts resisting torque applied by an electric engine (10) according to brake pedal depression and acceleration pedal depression, so that resulting braking torque applied by a mechanical brake (2) and the engine is linear and proportional to the brake pedal depression.
