Control of regenerative braking in an electric or hybrid vehicle

A method for controlling regenerative braking of a vehicle equipped with a first, regenerative, braking means, including an electrical actuator to apply the regenerative braking to the vehicle, and with a second braking means separate from the first braking means, which method is designed to generate a regenerative braking setpoint as a function of a braking request signal coming from a driver pedal of the vehicle, according to a first calculation mode, the method comprising:

• receiving, via a processor, a flag signal coming from an active safety system of the vehicle;
• detecting, via the processor, value changes of the received flag signal;
• when the received flag signal changes value to take a value corresponding to activation of regulation by the active safety system, incrementing, via the processor, a counter value;
• comparing, via the processor, the counter with a threshold;
• when the counter reaches said threshold, forming, via the processor, a control signal so as to end the generation of the regenerative braking setpoint according to the first calculation mode and to impose generation of the regenerative braking setpoint according to a second calculation mode;
• and
• applying the regenerative braking setpoint to the electrical actuator to control the regenerative braking of the vehicle.
