Abstract

In the present paper, an improvement of conventional hydro-mechanical braking system is presented which increases the regenerative performance of parallel regenerative braking used in electric vehicles. Realizing that brake pedal feel of driver during deceleration is important for the safety, an appropriate brake pedal feel measurement is proposed here. Moreover, it was noticed that perception of brake pedal feel varies with the driver’s attitude. The improved hydro-mechanical braking system maintains a constant desired brake pedal feel throughout the braking process.
