Method and apparatus for controlling the brake system of electric drive vehicles
First Claim
1. Method for controlling the braking system of an electrically driven vehicle having a friction brake system and a regenerative braking function via the drive motor of the vehicle,registering the extent of take-back of the vehicle accelerator pedal,registering the activation of the vehicle brake pedal,adjusting the braking effect applied by regenerative brake to be dependent on the extent of take-back of the accelerator pedal and to be independent of the extent of activation of the brake pedal, andadjusting the braking effect of the friction brake to be dependent on the extent to which the brake pedal is depressed, and to be independent of the actuation of the accelerator.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus for controlling the brake system of electric drive vehicles are proposed, in which the control of a friction brake and of an electric regenerative brake is divided between two pedals. The regenerative brake is controlled as a function of the actuation of the accelerator, independently of the extent to which the brake pedal is actuated.

7. Apparatus for controlling the brake system of an electrically driven vehicle having both a friction brake system and a regenerative brake acting on at least one of the drive motors of the vehicle, said apparatus comprising:
-
at least one control unit which registers the extent of take-back of the accelerator pedal and the extent to which a brake pedal is activated, the control unit adjusts the braking effect applied by the regenerative brake to be dependent on the extent of take-back of the accelerator pedal and to be independent on the extent to which the brake pedal is actuated, and the control unit further adjusts the braking effect of the friction brake to be dependent on the extent of activation of the brake pedal and to be independent on actuation of the accelerator.
