  • Adaptation of a simulated engine-braking instruction
    Patent number: 9227514
    Abstract: A method for adapting an engine-braking simulation for a vehicle provided with a regenerative braking device includes generating an arbitrated braking signal based on a simulated engine-braking signal developed on the basis of signals output from an acceleration pedal, and based on at least one signal output from at least one active safety system. The method also includes generating a braking instruction intended for the regenerative braking device by time filtration of the arbitrated braking signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 7, 2012
    Date of Patent: January 5, 2016
    Assignee: RENAULT s.a.s.
    Inventors: Nicolas Gouhier, Yann Chazal, Jean-Marie Vespasien, Sebastien Foot, Walter Francesconi
