- Abstract
This paper presents modelling, simulation, and implementation of a Pneumatic Parallel Hybrid Regenerative Braking System with Launch Assist (PP-RBS/LA) for Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs). The Hybrid Regenerative Braking System harvests energy during braking. The objective of this work is to design and model an energy harvesting system to regenerate energy that would be otherwise lost as heat during braking and perform a feasibility analysis for implementation of the proposed PP-RBS/LA model on LMVs. This involves harvesting and storing the energy and re-using the captured energy to apply additional torque to the wheels during subsequent acceleration. In addition to energy savings, this system increases energy efficiency and also makes it eco-friendly by reducing the amount of energy required for acceleration and emissions.
