Abstract
A regenerative braking control apparatus includes an interface unit configured to receive driving information of a vehicle; an object detection device configured to generate object information based on detecting an object outside the vehicle; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to: determine whether to perform regenerative braking for the vehicle, based on the driving information and the object information; and provide at least one signal corresponding to a result of determining whether to perform the regenerative braking for the vehicle.
Claims19
A regenerative braking control apparatus for an autonomous vehicle, comprising:
- an interface unit configured to receive driving information of a vehicle, wherein the interface unit comprises a port configured for passage of data;
- an object detection device configured to generate object information based on detecting an object outside the vehicle, wherein the object detection device comprises at least one of a camera, a radar, an ultrasonic sensor, or an infrared sensor;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- determine whether to perform regenerative braking for the vehicle, based on the driving information and the object information;
- and
- provide at least one signal corresponding to a result of determining whether to perform the regenerative braking for the vehicle,
- wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
- receive, through the interface unit, driving mode information;
- and
- based on a determination to perform regenerative braking:
- determine a regenerative braking start location based on the driving mode information;
- and
- determine a regenerative braking start time based on whether the vehicle travels in an unmanned driving mode or a manned driving mode.
