  • Publication number: 20230103253
    Abstract: A brake mode control system and a brake mode control method for a vehicle are disclosed. The brake mode control system comprises a user interface, a driving information sensor, a braking controller, and a brake mode control panel. The user interface is configured to receive a brake mode input by a driver, the driving information sensor is configured to sense driving information of the vehicle, the braking controller is configured to determine a driving state of the vehicle based on the driving information of the vehicle sensed by the driving information sensor and selectively change the brake mode received by the user interface according to the determined driving state of the vehicle to achieve a final brake mode, and the brake mode control panel is configured to generate a different braking feel according to a pedal action force required for a pedal stroke based on the final brake mode.

  • Publication number: 20210222468
    Abstract: A system and a method for controlling opening and closing of a charging door of a vehicle are provided. The system includes a switch sensor that is mounted at the charging door to receive a pressing signal when the charging door switch of the vehicle is pressed. A controller determines whether a door lock of the vehicle is in a locked state to operate the charging door switch of the vehicle. When the door lock of the vehicle is in an unlocked state and the charging door switch of the vehicle is continuously pressed for more than a predetermined time, the controller processes the received pressing signal to determine whether the received pressing signal received is caused by a user manipulation. The charging door is opened when the pressing signal is caused by the user manipulation.
