  • Patent number: 11590848
    Abstract: A method for controlling the regenerative braking torque of a vehicle having a data processing unit for detecting a first information representing a deceleration request of the vehicle, detecting a second information representing a speed of the vehicle, and a first moving member of the vehicle and a second moving member of the vehicle. The method includes determining temperatures of different braking components on different axles, as well as the state of a battery module and a traction and regenerative braking module. The method also includes determining a regenerative braking power dynamic distribution ratio between the first and second axles. A regenerative braking torque is provided to one of the modules.

  • Patent number: 11046295
    Abstract: An electronic system for controlling traction and braking of a vehicle is described. The system includes a device for actuating braking operatively connected to at least one first wheel of the vehicle, and at least one first traction and braking control unit. The device comprises: at least one first electric actuator and at least one electric motor. The at least one first traction and braking control unit being configured to control the at least one electric motor in regeneration mode to exert a regenerative braking torque on at least one first wheel. The at least one first traction and braking control unit also being configured to control the at least one electric motor in traction mode to exert a traction torque on the at least one first wheel.

  • Publication number: 20200094795
    Abstract: A method for controlling a force representative of a parking braking of a vehicle, having the steps of: determining, by a data processing unit, a target value of a force representative of a parking braking of the vehicle to be applied, by a first brake caliper, on a first brake disc on the basis of a value of the gradient of the road on which the vehicle is located; determining, by the data processing unit, a value of a first force contribution representative of a service braking of the vehicle applied by a first hydraulic actuator on the first brake disc; determining, by the data processing unit, a value of a second force contribution representative of the parking braking of the vehicle to be applied, by a second electromechanical actuator, on the first brake disc on the basis of a target value of a force representative of a parking braking of the vehicle which can be applied by the first brake caliper on the first brake disc, and of the determined value of the first force contribution representative of a se
