Abstract

A regenerative braking control device for a vehicle includes: a driver request braking torque computation unit configured to compute a driver request braking torque based on brake pedaling of a driver; and a regenerative braking torque computation unit configured to compute a regenerative braking torque by restricting a response time of the regenerative braking torque to match a braking rate of a frictional brake based on a vehicle speed and the computed driver request braking torque, and compute the regenerative braking torque by releasing restriction on the response time of the regenerative braking torque in a case where the driver request braking torque decreases.

Claims (9)

1. A regenerative braking control device for a vehicle, comprising:

a driver request braking torque computation unit configured to compute a driver request braking torque based on brake pedaling of a driver; and

a regenerative braking torque computation unit configured to compute a regenerative braking torque by restricting a response time of the regenerative braking torque to match a braking rate of a frictional brake based on a vehicle speed and the computed driver request braking torque, and compute the regenerative braking torque by releasing restriction on the response time of the regenerative braking torque in a case where the driver request braking torque decreases.

2. The regenerative braking control device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein:

the regenerative braking torque computation unit releases the restriction on the response time of the regenerative braking torque in a case where system abnormality occurs.

3. The regenerative braking control device for a vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein:

the regenerative braking torque computation unit smoothly decreases the regenerative braking torque to zero when the system abnormality has a mode capable of applying the regenerative braking torque, and the regenerative braking torque computation unit immediately sets the regenerative braking torque to zero when the system abnormality has a mode incapable of applying the regenerative braking torque.

4. The regenerative braking control device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a regenerative braking torque restriction unit configured to set a transmission transferable torque to the regenerative braking torque when the regenerative braking torque obtained by the regenerative braking torque computation unit exceeds the transmission transferable torque.
