  • Braking supervision
    Patent number: 9308823
    Abstract: A method and control system for a vehicle including a regenerating braking mechanism and a complementary braking mechanism, the method including: receiving at least one vehicle acceleration measurement value, at least one torque value applied by the regenerating braking system, and at least one complementary braking set value for the complementary braking mechanism, wherein the at least one value corresponds to at least one respective measurement moment during a braking transition; and estimating an efficiency coefficient of the complementary braking mechanism from the at least one received value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 3, 2012
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2016
    Assignee: RENAULT s.a.s.
