  • Braking control apparatus for hybrid vehicle
    Patent number: 12172642
    Abstract: A braking control apparatus includes a braking force control unit, a first abnormality detecting unit, a regenerative brake stopping unit, and a braking force compensating unit. The braking force control unit is configured to perform a braking force control by causing an engine brake, a regenerative brake, and a friction brake to operate in cooperation with each other. The regenerative brake stopping unit is configured to disconnect the regenerative brake from the braking force control, when an abnormality of the regenerative brake is detected by the first abnormality detecting unit. The braking force compensating unit is configured to perform a braking force compensation that utilizes the friction brake, from the detection of the abnormality of the regenerative brake until the regenerative brake is disconnected from the braking force control, by performing a feedback control on a deceleration rate at a time when the abnormality of the regenerative brake is detected.
