Selected Patents
A selection of patents created on various topics over the course of project work to date;
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.
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
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
