Abstract
A vehicle includes a control system configured to implement a method for regenerative braking control. The control system has at least one controller and is configured to control regenerative braking torque to be no greater than a regenerative braking torque limit when a wheel slip of a wheel of the vehicle is above a threshold value. The regenerative braking torque limit is non-zero for at least some values of the wheel slip above the threshold value.

A method for controlling regenerative braking torque in a wheeled vehicle, comprising:
- controlling regenerative braking torque to be no greater than a regenerative braking torque limit when a wheel slip of a wheel of the vehicle is above a threshold value, the regenerative braking torque limit being non-zero for at least some values of the wheel slip above the threshold value.
A method for controlling regenerative braking torque in a wheeled vehicle, comprising:
- controlling regenerative braking torque to be no greater than a regenerative braking torque limit defined by a linear function including a first point based on an initial torque value and a threshold value of a wheel slip of a wheel of the vehicle, and a second point based on a maximum wheel slip value.
A vehicle having a regenerative braking system, comprising:
- a control system having at least one controller, the control system being configured to control regenerative braking torque to be no greater than a regenerative braking torque limit when a wheel slip of a wheel of the vehicle is above a threshold value, the regenerative braking torque limit being non-zero for at least some values of the wheel slip above the threshold value.
