Abstract
A device for changing a braking mode provided in a vehicle including a plurality of braking modes includes a receiving unit configured to receive vehicle state information, a condition determination unit configured to determine whether conditions for preparation of changing the braking mode and conditions for changing the braking mode are satisfied, based on the vehicle state information, an electromechanical braking (EMB) device configured to generate braking force on a vehicle, and a braking mode changing unit configured to change a braking mode based on the determination of the condition determination unit, where, when the braking mode is changed, the braking mode changing unit generates vibrations using the EMB device.
Claims20
A device configured to change a braking mode of a vehicle, the device comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive vehicle state information;
- a condition determination unit, implemented using one or more computing devices, configured to determine whether one or more conditions for preparing to change the braking mode and one or more conditions for changing the braking mode are satisfied, based on the vehicle state information;
- an electromechanical braking (EMB) device configured to generate braking force on the vehicle;
- and
- a braking mode changing unit, implemented using one or more computing devices, configured to, based on determination that the one or more conditions for preparing to change the braking mode and the one or more conditions for changing the braking mode are satisfied, change the braking mode,
- wherein the braking mode changing unit is configured to, based on the braking mode being changed, generate vibrations through the EMB device.
A method of changing a braking mode in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving vehicle state information;
- determining whether one or more conditions for preparing to change the braking mode are satisfied, based on the vehicle state information;
- determining whether one more conditions for changing the braking mode are satisfied, based on the vehicle state information;
- changing the braking mode based on the one or more conditions for preparing to change the braking mode and the one or more conditions for changing the braking mode being satisfied;
- and
- notifying a change in the braking mode,
- wherein notifying the change in the braking mode includes generating vibrations by operating an electromechanical braking (EMB) device configured to generate a braking force on the vehicle.
