    摘要: Devices, systems, and methods for redundant braking systems and architectures are described. An example method for controlling a vehicle includes receiving, by a braking system, a first set of commands generated by a primary brake controller and a primary vehicle control unit (VCU) comprising multiple processors, receiving a second set of commands generated by the primary VCU and a secondary brake controller, receiving a third set of commands generated by a secondary VCU and the primary brake controller, receiving a fourth set of commands generated by the secondary VCU and the secondary brake controller, and selecting, based on an arbitration logic, exactly one of the first, second, third, and fourth sets of commands to operate the braking system, wherein the primary VCU and the secondary VCU are configured in a master/slave architecture.

    摘要: According to at least one embodiment, the present disclosure provides an electrohydraulic brake system including main brake assemblies, electronic parking brakes (EPBs), a main control unit, and a redundancy control unit (RCU). The main brake assemblies generate a braking force in one or more front wheels and one or more rear wheels of a vehicle. The electronic parking brakes (EPBs) generate a braking force to one of the front wheels and rear wheels. The main control unit is configured to control the operation of the main brake assembly. The redundancy control unit (RCU) is configured to control the operation of the electronic parking brake. Here, the redundancy control unit performs, upon determining that a malfunction occurs in a braking function of the main control unit, a slip control on the vehicle by using the electronic parking brake based on signals from one or more wheel speed sensors.

    摘要: Motor-generators are arranged both at front and rear wheels so as to be capable of using all of four wheels for regeneration. The horizontal axis indicates deceleration of a vehicle, and the vertical axis indicates braking forces for the front and rear wheels, respectively above and below the horizontal axis. A setting value indicates a limit braking force for the rear wheels to be locked. A frictional braking force and a regenerative braking force at the rear wheels are controlled so that the total braking force for the rear wheels does not exceed the setting value.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle control system capable of utilizing another braking apparatus than a hydraulic brake even when an ABS is activated. A vehicle control system, which is configured to be used together with a vehicle, includes a regenerative braking apparatus capable of generating a regenerative braking torque at a wheel, another braking apparatus than the regenerative braking apparatus and capable of generating a braking torque at the wheel, and a braking torque calculation unit configured to calculate a required braking torque for each of wheels of the vehicle when the wheel slips. The vehicle control system realizes the calculated braking torque by the regenerative braking apparatus and the other braking apparatus.

    摘要: A method for controlling a regenerative brake system for a vehicle may include: generating a target pressure of each wheel of the vehicle, when any one performance condition of ABS-associated control, VDC-associated control, and TCS-associated control is satisfied; determining whether to enter the ABS-associated control; opening an entrance-side wheel of a target wheel such that a raised/lowered pressure for the target wheel is formed, when determining to perform the VDC-associated control or TCS-associated control; and performing pressure raising/lowering control for the target wheel by controlling a motor such that a wheel pressure of the target wheel follows the target pressure of the target wheel.
