The power of regenerative EV braking

Tire Review Magazine

When you hit the brake pedal on most internal combustion vehicles, hydraulic pressure is generated by the master cylinder and sent to the calipers. The hydraulic pressure causes the calipers to clamp down on the brake pads and rotor. It is not until the last few miles per hour that the hydraulic brakes are engaged.

How brake pedal position sensors work

Tire Review Magazine

For hybrids and electric vehicles, this information is essential for managing regenerative braking effectively. The ABS hydraulic control unit’s pressure sensors, along with wheel speed, lateral acceleration, and yaw sensors, all work together to paint a picture of the vehicle’s braking behavior.
