Antilock braking control apparatus for electric vehicle

An antilock braking control apparatus for an electric vehicle having a plurality of wheels driven by one or more traction motors, said apparatus comprising:

• regenerative braking means operatively connected with one or more traction motors of the electric vehicle for braking a plurality of wheels of the electric vehicle by using regenerative braking torque;
• second braking means operatively connected with said wheels of the electric vehicle for braking said wheels by using brake fluid pressure;
• antilock brake system means for performing an antilock brake system control process to control a braking force produced by said regenerative braking means on said wheels to avoid slipping of said braked wheels;
• and
• synchronizing means for reducing, after the start of an antilock brake system control process relating to said regenerative braking means performed by said antilock brake system means, a braking force produced by said second braking means on said wheels in a manner synchronous with a reduction of the braking force produced by said regenerative braking means on said wheels during said antilock brake system control process.

• regenerative braking means operatively connected with one or more traction motors of the electric vehicle for braking a plurality of wheels of the electric vehicle by using regenerative braking torque;
• second braking means operatively connected with said wheels of the electric vehicle for braking said wheels by using brake fluid pressure;
• first antilock brake system means for performing an antilock brake system control process to control a braking force produced by said regenerative braking means on said wheels to avoid slipping of said braked wheels;
• second antilock brake system means for performing an antilock braking control process to control a braking force produced by said second braking means on said wheels to avoid slipping of said wheels;
• and
• braking control means for enabling said second antilock brake system means to perform an antilock braking control process to reduce a braking force produced by said second braking means on said wheels when a braking force produced by said regenerative braking means on said wheels has been reduced to equal a lowest force limit during execution of said antilock brake system control process performed by said first antilock brake system means.
