Abstract:

A braking coordination strategy of electric vehicles (EV) was proposed based on traffic information to improve the economy of coasting recovery and the safety and comfort of pedal braking. After analyzed slide braking economy, the coasting intensity was determined by the traffic condition and the vehicle state information. A vehicle safety distance model and a collision warning strategy were established based on the traffic information and the forward vehicle information with the warning information being used to coordinate the coasting braking and pedal braking strength. The strategies were verified by simulation. The results show that the comprehensive energy consumption is reduced by 1.1% in good traffic conditions; the braking fatigue of drivers is alleviated in congestion conditions by using the coasting strategy based on traffic information; warning and coordination strategies avoid frequent warning and reduce the probability of triggering emergency braking. Therefore, using traffic information can assist driver to brake more reasonably.
