  • METHOD AND CONTROL/REGULATION SYSTEM FOR BRAKING A VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20110202248
    Abstract: A method and a control/regulation system for braking a vehicle having a regenerative braking system and a nonregenerative braking system, and a vehicle employing the same. The method includes detecting a position and/or a motion of an accelerator pedal and then determining whether the detected position and/or motion corresponds to a specifiable position or to a specifiable motion which is associated with a deceleration request. The regenerative braking system is correspondingly activated when the result of the check is positive. The nonregenerative braking system is additionally activated for a deceleration request which exceeds a braking capability of the regenerative braking system.
