Computer system controlling transmission configuration to maximize regenerative braking energy recovery during vehicle braking events.

Patentradars sammanfattning

Volvo Truck Corporation discloses a computer system and method for controlling a multi-input, single-output transmission to optimize regenerative braking performance. The system obtains required braking torque information and determines whether the current transmission configuration enables the regenerative braking system to meet or exceed that torque requirement. If adequate regenerative braking capacity exists in the current configuration, the system maintains that configuration; otherwise, it presumably adjusts transmission settings to maximize energy recovery into the vehicle's energy storage system.
