  • Patent number: 12151607
    Abstract: A brake lamp control method of a vehicle is provided. The method includes determining whether a deceleration of the vehicle based on regenerative brake through the electric motor is present in a hysteresis period between an off threshold as a reference for turning off a brake lamp and an on threshold as a reference for turning on the brake lamp. When the deceleration of the vehicle is present in the hysteresis period, the method includes determining a state of the brake lamp before the deceleration of the vehicle enters the hysteresis period. In response to determining that the brake lamp is turned on or off for a reason except for the regenerative brake before the deceleration of the vehicle enters the hysteresis period, a request for turning on the brake lamp is set or reset based on the regenerative brake in response to the determined state of the brake lamp.

  • Patent number: 11912168
    Abstract: An apparatus and method control regenerative braking torque of an electric vehicle on which an anti-lock brake system (ABS) is mounted. The apparatus and method can compensate the regenerative braking torque of the driving motor based on the behavior model of the electric vehicle, such that the ABS is prevented from entering an operating range to the maximum limit to maximize the energy recovery rate through regenerative braking. The apparatus includes a disturbance extractor that extracts a disturbance in a specific frequency band from a difference between a behavior model and an actual behavior of the electric vehicle. The apparatus includes a torque compensator that compensates for the regenerative braking torque based on the disturbance extracted by the disturbance extractor.

  • Publication number: 20240055720
    Abstract: A secondary battery and a module thereof is disclosed, which has an electrode assembly and a case into which the electrode assembly is inserted. The case has an inner side with a coating layer containing a gas absorbing material, which absorbs or desorbs internal gas depending on the temperature inside the case. The secondary battery may enhance safety, in terms of improving battery heat transfer and preventing fire, by not only absorbing internal gas at normal operating temperatures but also desorbing internal gas at high temperatures. This may allow the secondary battery to regulate the internal gas emission point based on an internal pressure critical point when the battery is exposed to an abnormally high temperature. In addition, the secondary battery inhibits deformation of the battery case and is highly effective in preventing degradation of the battery performance by regulating the pressure inside the battery case.
