  • Publication number: 20160121901
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a regenerative braking are provided. The system includes a driving information detector that is configured to detect whether a brake pedal is operated and detect shift information. In addition, a hybrid control unit is configured to fix the regenerative braking during actual shifting based on the shift information and is configured to use a required braking force when the actual shifting is not performed to calculate the regenerative braking.
