  • Patent number: 12697958
    Abstract: A system that implements a dynamically adjusting coasting regeneration for an electrified vehicle includes an electrified powertrain, first and second sensors and a controller. The electrified powertrain includes an electric motor that provides drive torque to a driveline. The first sensor senses dynamic artifact data. The second sensor senses one of static and pseudo-static artifact data. The controller is configured to receive a current velocity of the vehicle; determine first and second candidate deceleration rates based on the data; estimate a first proposed change in velocity over a first time based on the first and second deceleration rates; determine a second proposed change in velocity over a second time based on the first proposed change in velocity; determine a proposed total distance travelled by the vehicle based on the second proposed change in velocity; and determine whether a target velocity has been reached based on the proposed total distance.

  • Patent number: 12485766
    Abstract: A system that implements a dynamically adjusting coasting regeneration for an electrified vehicle includes an electrified powertrain, first and second sensors and a controller. The electrified powertrain includes an electric motor that provides drive torque to a driveline, the electric motor further providing regenerative braking energy to a battery system during a deceleration event. The first and second sensors sense dynamic, static and pseudo-static artifact data. The controller is configured to receive signals from the first and second sensors; determine first candidate deceleration rates based on the first signal; determine second candidate deceleration rates based on the second signal; select a preferred deceleration rate from the first and second candidate deceleration rates; and provide a torque request to the electrified powertrain indicative of the preferred deceleration rate.
