Braking for the third century – Part 2
An overview of brake technology developments from 1920 to 2019.
Regenerative Braking
Pressure Drop – a detailed look at regenerative braking
A detailed look at a brake event, where the power and torque are used, and what needs to be done by friction brakes to sync the vehicle.
Pedals, Paddles and Push Buttons – lifting the lid on regenerative braking
An introduction to the fundamentals of regenerative braking. How electric motors generate torque, and how this can be used to decelerate vehicles. How regenerative braking is implemented, and how the available torques are blended. What responses does a vehicle make to driver inputs.
