摘要:
In a vehicle with a first set of first and second wheels coupled to an electric drive system capable of providing regenerative braking and a second set of third and fourth wheels, wherein the vehicle dynamically adjusts a brake proportioning between the first and second sets responsive to a determined wheel speed difference between the first and second sets, the improvement comprising a regenerative braking control method according to the steps of: measuring first, second, third and fourth speeds of the first, second, third and fourth wheels; for each wheel of one of the first and second sets, determining a set-off value inversely relational to a commanded brake torque and a wheel deceleration; determining modified wheel speeds for each wheel of said one of the first and second sets responsive to the wheel speeds and the set-off values; and determining the wheel speed difference between the first and second sets responsive to the modified wheels speeds of said one of the first and second sets and the wheel speeds of the other of the first and second sets, wherein the dynamic adjusting of brake proportioning between the first and second sets increases brake torque load on the first and second wheels, increasing an amount of braking achieved regeneratively.
