[0084] The function of the seat pressure sensor 1001 is to measure the force on all seats in the vehicle and transmit the signal describing the force on all seats to the relevant electronic control unit (such as the feedback prompt control module 101) in the vehicle through the signal transmission line. The signal will serve as a reference for describing the current gravity (or real-time mass of the vehicle) on the vehicle, and then as a reference for the relevant electronic control unit to calculate the dynamic state of the vehicle.
[0085] It is understood that in this embodiment, feedback information is generated based on various parameters collected by vehicle sensors that describe the vehicle's real-time operating mode (such as driving mode), dynamic state parameters (such as vehicle speed, acceleration, angular velocity, angular acceleration, etc.), and parameters that describe the vehicle's real-time regenerative braking intensity (such as regenerative braking energy, regenerative braking power, etc.). This feedback information is then sent directly to the vehicle's occupants via the vehicle feedback prompt sending module 102, including prompt sounds, to provide feedback on the vehicle's real-time regenerative braking intensity (the amount of regenerative braking energy and the level of regenerative braking power). Alternatively, the feedback information can be sent to the human-machine interaction system electronic control unit 901. Subsequently, the human-machine interaction system electronic control unit 901 sends control information to the vehicle's human-machine interaction system and audio-visual entertainment system to provide the occupants with prompt sounds, prompt images, and prompt animations to provide feedback on the vehicle's real-time regenerative braking intensity.
[0086] Based on the same inventive concept, this invention also provides a vehicle, which includes the vehicle regenerative braking feedback prompting system provided in the above embodiments. The vehicle provided in this invention has the corresponding functional modules and beneficial effects of the vehicle regenerative braking feedback prompting system.
[0087] The vehicle provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a vehicle regenerative braking feedback system. The system comprises a feedback notification control module, a feedback notification sending module, a vehicle braking management control module, and a motor control module. The feedback notification control module is electrically connected to both the feedback notification sending module and the vehicle braking management control module, and the vehicle braking management control module is electrically connected to the motor control module. The vehicle braking management control module generates a braking control signal. The motor control module receives the braking control signal generated by the vehicle braking management control module and provides regenerative braking force to the vehicle based on the braking control signal. It also receives driving force and regenerative braking force from the vehicle control unit and the vehicle braking management control module. The system generates motor drive control signals and generator regenerative braking control signals according to the vehicle's requirements, and transmits these signals to the motor / generator and related sensors and actuators to control the vehicle's motor / generator to output driving force and regenerative braking force as needed. A feedback prompt control module receives the vehicle's braking force control requirements and driving force control requirements, generates a first control command, and calculates and determines feedback prompt control parameters for the vehicle's regenerative braking process based on the first control command. A second control command is then generated based on the calculation results of these parameters. A feedback prompt sending module receives the second control command and obtains feedback prompt information for the vehicle's regenerative braking process based on it. This invention solves the problem that drivers currently cannot accurately grasp the vehicle's current braking state or regenerative braking force distribution strategy, resulting in poor subjective driving experience and risks. It enables drivers to more accurately grasp the vehicle's current driving state, improves the driver's driving experience and subjective feeling, alleviates driver anxiety, and simultaneously enhances vehicle safety performance and reduces the risk of traffic accidents.
[0088] Based on the same inventive concept Figure 4 This invention provides a flowchart illustrating a vehicle regenerative braking feedback and alert method. This embodiment is applicable to situations requiring timely feedback and control based on the vehicle's regenerative braking process. This vehicle regenerative braking feedback and alert method can be executed by a vehicle regenerative braking feedback and alert system, which can be configured within the vehicle. Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle's regenerative braking feedback prompt method includes:
[0089] S110 generates braking control signals through the vehicle braking management control module.
[0090] S120, the electric motor control module receives the braking control signal generated by the vehicle braking management control module, and provides regenerative braking force to the vehicle based on the braking control signal.
[0091] S130: Based on the driving force and regenerative braking force requirements received by the electric motor control module from the vehicle control unit and the vehicle braking management control module, the electric motor control module generates an electric motor drive control signal and a generator regenerative braking control signal, and transmits the electric motor drive control signal and the generator regenerative braking control signal to the electric motor / generator and related sensors and actuators to control the vehicle electric motor / generator to output driving force and regenerative braking force as needed.
[0092] S140, a first control command is generated based on the vehicle's braking force control requirements and driving force control requirements received by the feedback prompt control module, and the vehicle regenerative braking process feedback prompt control parameters are calculated and determined based on the first control command, so as to generate a second control command based on the calculation result of the vehicle regenerative braking process feedback prompt control parameters.
[0093] Based on the above, and according to the needs of vehicle users, the feedback prompt control module can selectively enable the vehicle regenerative braking feedback prompt function, and selectively enable the communication function between the vehicle feedback prompt control module and other controllers, sensors, and actuators of the vehicle. Then, based on the braking force control requirements and driving force control requirements of the vehicle in the vehicle dynamics control method received by the feedback prompt control module, a first control command is generated. The process for enabling the vehicle regenerative braking feedback prompt function can be found in the following example. Figure 5 As shown, specifically:
[0094] S510, determine whether the feedback prompt control module has enabled the vehicle regenerative braking feedback prompt function. If yes, proceed to step S520; otherwise, proceed to step S540.
[0095] S520 enables communication between the vehicle feedback and prompt control module and other controllers, sensors, and actuators in the vehicle.

[0097] S530, by receiving the vehicle's braking force control requirements and driving force control requirements from the feedback prompt control module, generates a first control command.
[0098] S540, disables (or disconnects) the communication function between the vehicle feedback prompt control module and other controllers, sensors, and actuators in the vehicle.
[0099] In other words, step S540 only retains the function of receiving and determining the vehicle user's request to activate the vehicle's regenerative braking feedback.
[0100] The first control command includes the results of analysis and calculation by other electronic control units in the vehicle or the relevant parameter measurement values collected by various sensors, specifically including at least one of the following: vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration, vehicle driving mode, vehicle brake pedal position signal, vehicle accelerator pedal position signal, vehicle transmission current gear ratio (only for vehicles equipped with transmissions, including the current gear information of the vehicle transmission), vehicle transmission system current main drive ratio, vehicle wheel radius, vehicle current rolling resistance coefficient, vehicle current frontal area, vehicle wheel moment of inertia, vehicle powertrain system flywheel moment of inertia (only for vehicles equipped with engines), vehicle first electric generator output (braking) torque, vehicle second electric generator output (braking) torque, vehicle engine output torque (only for vehicles equipped with engines), vehicle basic braking torque, vehicle engine speed (only for vehicles equipped with engines), and vehicle current gravity (or vehicle mass).
[0101] Based on the above, and using the acquired vehicle driving mode, vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration, vehicle brake pedal position signal, vehicle accelerator pedal position signal, and the current gear ratio of the vehicle transmission (only for vehicles equipped with transmissions, including the current gear information of the vehicle transmission), it is determined whether the vehicle is currently in a deceleration (braking) state. If so, a requirement to calculate the vehicle's regenerative braking intensity is generated. The slope angle (or gradient) of the road the vehicle is currently traveling on is acquired, the vehicle's current air drag coefficient is acquired, and the air state parameters of the current atmospheric environment (including atmospheric temperature, atmospheric pressure, air humidity, air density, etc.) and the wind speed and direction of the current atmospheric environment are acquired. Further, a second control command is generated, that is, a requirement to calculate the vehicle's regenerative braking intensity is generated and sent. If not, a command to stop (or prohibit) the calculation of the vehicle's regenerative braking intensity is generated and sent.
[0102] S150, the second control command is received through the feedback prompt sending module, and feedback prompt information of the vehicle regenerative braking process is obtained according to the second control command.
[0103] Furthermore, the feedback prompt control module, based on the vehicle user's needs, whether sufficient types (dimensions) of parameter information describing the vehicle's dynamics calculations are available, and the vehicle's current driving state, selects different regenerative braking intensity calculation methods to calculate the vehicle's regenerative braking intensity, and further calculates the corresponding control parameters (i.e., obtains the second control command) based on the calculation results. For a flowchart of the specific calculation mode selection method for the vehicle's regenerative braking intensity, please refer to... Figure 6 As shown:
