Selected Patents
A selection of patents created on various topics over the course of project work to date;
WO2018104740 β Braking System β 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)Β Method of controlling speed of vehicle β predictive approach to vehicle deceleration control, based on location, environment, historical performance
US9416834Β (B2)Β β Braking System for a vehicle β 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.

US9944198 (B2) β Vehicle β 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) β Adaptive braking system and method β A brake control concept to optimise brake boost based on friction conditions of the brake hardware, environmental data, and other relevant vehicle attributes
