Regenerative Brake Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Leaf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal during driving, Electrically-driven Intelligent Brake Unit transmits a target braking force signal to VCM. VCM calculates a target regenerative torque based on the signal and transmits a target motor torque signal to the drive motor inverter. Moreover, VCM transmits the current regenerative torque signal to Electrically-driven Intelligent Brake Unit so that the Electrically-driven Intelligent Brake Unit can control the overall braking force.
For information on the Electrically-driven Intelligent Brake collaborative control, refer to "SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ".
