This paper presents an algorithm that increases vehicle regenerative braking energy recovery in autonomous driving by leveraging connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technology. Autonomous vehicles may select different maneuvers to increase kinetic energy recovery during deceleration. In the proposed algorithm, the cornering resistance that influences regenerative energy and energy consumption is defined in terms of steering angle during regenerative braking. In particular, a model predictive controller that distributes control inputs of the vehicle is adopted to reduce the cornering resistance for increasing regenerative braking torque. Utilizing the information from CAV technology, this algorithm enables the vehicle to safely conduct braking while increasing its regenerative energy recovery. CarSim-Simulink joint simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
