Title:
ACCELERATOR PEDAL PROVIDING REGENERATIVE BRAKE FEEDBACK
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2020096518
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a feedback system for use with an accelerator pedal of an electric vehicle, where the pedal is adjustable between a fully depressed position and a fully released position, and where a neutral pedal position is located between the fully depressed and fully released positions.SOLUTION: When an accelerator pedal 401 is located at a neutral pedal position 407, a vehicle power train does not apply any torque; when the pedal is located between the neutral pedal position and a fully depressed position, the vehicle power train applies a driving torque; and, when the pedal is located between the neutral pedal position and a fully released pedal position 409, the vehicle power train applies a braking torque. The feedback system automatically sets the fully released position for the accelerator pedal based on an available regenerative braking torque.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4A
