Regenerative and friction power indicator for a vehicle braking system

A method for displaying brake power status of a vehicle is disclosed. The method obtains vehicle status data from at least one onboard subsystem, and generates a power indicator based on the status data. The power indicator includes a charge indicator region defined by a stationary charging boundary...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for displaying brake power status of a vehicle is disclosed. The method obtains vehicle status data from at least one onboard subsystem, and generates a power indicator based on the status data. The power indicator includes a charge indicator region defined by a stationary charging boundary and by a dynamic transition threshold, a friction brake indicator region adjacent to the charge indicator region and defined by the dynamic transition threshold and by a stationary friction braking boundary, and a real-time power level indicator responsive to the vehicle status data to indicate a position in the charge indicator region or the friction brake indicator region. The transition threshold moves in response to changes in the status data over time, resulting in a moving boundary between the charge indicator region and the friction brake indicator region. The power indicator is displayed on an electronic display element onboard the vehicle.
