Method for controlling brake-lights of energy recovery system integrated vehicle i.e. hybrid electric vehicle, involves determining application and removal of braking force by recovery system, and applying control signal to brake-lights

摘要

The method involves determining lighting and extinction of brake-lights of a vehicle by detecting support and relaxation of a braking pedal by a driver. Application and removal of braking force by an energy recovery system of a vehicle is determined by determining deceleration of the vehicle when the energy recover system is activated through comparison of predetermined deceleration thresholds (DS1, DS2) to deduce activation of lighting control of the brake-lights. A brake-lights control signal is generated. The generated control signal is applied to the brake-lights of the vehicle. An independent claim is also included for an energy recovery system integrated vehicle.
