Dynamic braking load analyzer

Abstract: A dynamic braking load analyzer that determines the proper resistance value for a dynamic braking load resistor to be used in combination with a variable frequency drive or servo-drive to accommodate the power dissipated from an induction motor when it is being reduced in speed. The analyzer includes a resistor bank having a plurality of resistors electrically coupled in parallel. Switches are provided between the resistors, and a resistor selector switch determines which resistors are switched into the resistor bank circuit. A heat sensing resistor in the resistor bank measures the heat generated by the resistors and provides a signal that is read by a heat meter. The combination of the temperature measurement and the resistance of the resistors in the circuit gives the proper braking resistance value for the deceleration of the induction motor.

Braking force control strategy for electric vehicles with load variation and wheel slip considerations

Abstract: The braking system plays an important role in electric vehicles. In order to achieve high energy regeneration efficiency and also ensure driving safety at the same time, the regenerative braking system should be well coordinated with the mechanical braking system. As the brake-by-wire technology is developed, individual control of braking force on each wheel can be realised, which is suitable for the future electrified vehicles. This paper aims to investigate the braking force control strategy for electric vehicles under a low road friction condition. In order to further improve the braking force control accuracy and eliminate the effect of the vehicle load variation, a vehicle load estimation method is proposed. The standard hybrid braking force control strategy of electric vehicle is introduced for comparison with the proposed control strategy. To prevent a front wheel lock-up and maximise the regenerative braking efficiency under a low tyre-road friction condition, a revised control strategy is presented with the front wheel slip ratio consideration. Simulation results indicate that by using the proposed strategy, the vehicle braking performance under the low tyre-road friction condition is guaranteed and the regenerative braking force on front axle is fully utilised compared with the standard control strategy.

Electric steering controller and antiskid controller for vehicle having the same

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily perform countersteering operation when giving braking force on a so-called μ split road surface in an electric steering controller. SOLUTION: In a steering torque control block B0, steering torque for a steered wheel of a vehicle is controlled in accordance with steering operation. Moreover, in a braking force inference block B1, braking force given to each wheel of the vehicle is inferred to infer a difference in braking force given to right and left wheels in a right and left braking force difference inference block B2 based on the braking force inferred in the block B1. Assist steering torque is given to the steering torque control block B0 by an assist steering torque giving block B3 in accordance with a difference in braking force on the right and left wheels to assist operation when performing countersteering.
