More than 25％ of vehicle kinetic energy can be recycled under urban driving cycles.A single-pedal control strategy for regenerative braking is proposed to further enhance energy efficiency.Acceleration and deceleration are controlled by a single pedal,which alleviates driving intensity and prompts energy recovery.Regenerative braking is theoretically analyzed based on the construction of the single-pedal system,vehicle braking dynamics,and energy conservation law.The single-pedal control strategy is developed by considering daily driving conditions,and a single-pedal simulation model is established.Typical driving cycles are simulated to verify the effectiveness of the single-pedal control strategy.A dynamometer test is conducted to confirm the validity of the simulation model.Results show that using the single-pedal control strategy for electric vehicles can effectively improve the energy recovery rate and extend the driving range under the premise of ensuring safety while braking.The study lays a technical foundation for the optimization of regenerative braking systems and development of single-pedal control systems,which are conducive to the promotion and popularization of electric vehicles.
