Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for determining the ability of a driver of a hybrid vehicle to recover, via at least one recovery device, a part of the kinetic energy of the vehicle during its deceleration. This method includes: a) determination of a braking power generated by the recovery device at a given point of time, during deceleration of the vehicle, or of the braking energy generated by the recovery device for a deceleration of the vehicle; b) determination of the braking power or of the braking energy dissipated by each braking or retarding device of the vehicle, apart from the recovery device, at said point of time, or during said deceleration; c) computation of the sum of the braking powers or of the braking energies determined in steps a) and b); and d) computation of the ratio of the braking power or energy determined in step a) on the braking powers or braking energies sum determined in step c). The vehicle is equipped with an arrangement to perform such a method.
