Brake Lockdown 2020
Empty streets have shown how clean our air can be, but what will happen when we go back to work? In recent days, as much of the world has adopted […]
US9944198 (B2) – Vehicle – A method to control vehicle deceleration in order to optimise energy recovery, while maintaining necessary headway to a vehicle or obstacle in front
EP2903871 (B1) – Adaptive braking system and method – A brake control concept to optimise brake boost based on friction conditions of the brake hardware, environmental data, and other relevant vehicle attributes
US9416834 (B2) – Braking System for a vehicle – a system to combine improved brake cooling with increased electrical energy usage, accounting for regenerative braking with a full battery, and thereby enabling brake downsizing within an electric vehicle.
WO2018104740 – Braking System – A method to add haptic feedback into the brake pedal force progression, allowing the driver to feel a distinct haptic point within the pedal. This can be used to signify a change in brake behaviour, such as the limit of available regenerative braking, and the transition to friction braking.
EP3313705 (A1) Method of controlling speed of vehicle – predictive approach to vehicle deceleration control, based on location, environment, historical performance
Drumm’s Electric Train
This St. Patrick’s Day, lets’ take a look back at a pioneering electric vehicle project, built around a breakthrough battery technology that allowed the nascent Irish government to open a […]
Light weight brakes
The job of a brake system is to slow a vehicle by converting kinetic energy into other forms – typically heat and electricity. To do this job repeatedly and reliably, […]
