Objective The goal of this thesis is to determine the feasibility of a regenerative braking system (RBS) on a school bus and to subsequently develop and test a prototype system. Motivation It is proposed that a regenerative braking system be utilized on a school bus to improve fuel efficiency and reduce exposure of children to diesel particulates. The primary benefit of a RBS is a decrease in t...

An articulated lorry was instrumented in order to measure its performance in straight-line braking. The trailer was fitted with two interchangeable tandem axle sub–chassis, one with an air suspension and the other with a steel monoleaf 4–spring suspension. The brakes were only applied to the trailer axles, which were fitted with anti–lock braking systems (ABS), with the brake torque controlled ...

This paper represents a novel regenerative braking approach for the Electric Vehicles. The proposed method solves the short-range problem which is corresponding to the charge of the battery pack. The DTC switching algorithm has been modified to recover the electrical energy from Electrical Vehicle (EV), driven by Brushless DC motor, without using the additional power converter or the other elec...

<span lang="EN-US">The regenerative braking effectiveness of electric vehicles (EVs), with <br /> 8-25% range, requires designers to produce better systems. The antilock system (ABS) was chosen because it offers various advantages, such as enhanced safety considerations, vehicle maneuverability, and so on. measurement findings revealed that ABS took longer stop the wheels same wheel...

With regenerative braking technology reaching maturity manufacturers are studying other forms of energy regeneration, amongst these, regenerative suspension. Although there have been several regenerative shock absorber developments over the past decade, including linear-tubular electric motors and hydraulic actuator based systems, cost and complexity have delayed large scale deployment in serie...
