Estimating the term…
A blended electrical/friction braking system includes an electric brake feedback monitor which monitors a first signal corresponding to an electric brake effort request of an electric motor of an electrically powered vehicle. The electric brake feedback monitor detects one or more electrical conditions of the electric motor during electric braking and selectively supplies/terminates the first signal to/from a brake controller as a function of the first signal and the one or more electrical conditions. In response to termination of the first signal thereat, the brake controller causes a friction brake of the vehicle to assume the entire braking effort of the vehicle.
A brake feedback monitor for monitoring a first signal corresponding to an electric brake effort request of an electric motor of an electrically powered vehicle, for monitoring one or more electrical conditions of the electric motor in response to the electric brake effort request, and for selectively supplying/terminating the first signal to/from a brake controller as a function of the first signal and the one or more electrical conditions.
