Simulation on Series Electro-hydraulic Combined Braking for 4WD Hybrid Electric Car

A new type of series regenerative braking system was designed for 4WD-hybrid electric car.Based on a principle of braking safety and maximize energy recovery,a electro-hydraulic combined braking control strategy for the sake of coordinately controlled between regenerative braking and ABS hydraulic braking was proposed.This strategy firstly calculated the braking strength and the braking torque required on the basis of driver's operation,then according to braking strength,the braking torque required was distributed,besides judging when would the operating mode switch to ABS mode by real-time detection of slip ratio.Simulation model including powertrain,braking system and control strategy was modeled on Matlab/Simulink,the performance of Series Regenerative Braking system was respectively verified in the condition of slight braking,moderate braking and emergency braking.The simulation results show that the proposed strategy obviously improves the braking energy recovery efficiency,meanwhile making sure that the car has a good braking performance in an emergency braking condition.
