  • Patent number: 11535224
    Abstract: A heavy vehicle brake control method includes: activating two electro-pneumatic proportional valve control modules to perform braking along a front-axle electrical brake loop and a rear-axle electrical brake loop, respectively; while the two electro-pneumatic proportional valve control modules perform braking along the front-axle electrical brake loop and the rear-axle electrical brake loop, judging malfunctions by detecting the two electro-pneumatic proportional valve control modules; if none of the malfunctions is detected, the two electro-pneumatic proportional valve control modules continuing to perform braking along the front-axle electrical brake loop and the rear-axle electrical brake loop; and, if one or more malfunctions are detected, then switching on a brake-pedal cable control module to control the brake pedal of the brake valve to perform braking. In addition, a heavy vehicle brake control device is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7844375
    Abstract: A vehicle hybrid power system is provided according to the present invention. The hybrid power system is characterized by applying the concept of minimum equivalent fuel consumption, and then simulating equivalent fuel consumptions based on respective energy consumption or increase of motor and generator of a motor vehicle, and also defining simulated equivalent fuel consumption formula and making a list of system state parameters, system control parameters, and system negative load parameters, thereby obtaining simulated equivalent fuel consumption multidimensional data by entering the system parameters derived from a discretization/transformation process in the defined simulated equivalent fuel consumption formula; wherein, the simulated equivalent fuel consumption multidimensional data are revised to comprise subsystems, such as system engine, motor, generator, and others to determine a system control strategy of holistic optimization, thereby achieving the objective of saving energy.
