Title: Brian Sharp and Electrified Vehicle Coast Control
Introduction
Brian Sharp is an inventor associated with Auburn Hills, Michigan, and FCA US LLC. His patent work addresses coast control for battery electric vehicles, with a focus on compensating for downhill grades and changes in vehicle load.
Latest Patents
Sharp is named on 1 patent: “Coast Control for Electrified Vehicles to Compensate for Downhill Grades with Variable Load.” The patent describes a system and method that determine a minimum pedal torque for maintaining a given speed on a flat surface with a nominal load. Using that value, the system calculates acceleration thresholds for entering and exiting coast control. When the required conditions are met and vehicle acceleration exceeds the entry threshold, the system reduces both the driver torque request and minimum pedal torque by a coast control offset.
Career Highlights
Sharp’s listed patent is associated with FCA US LLC and concerns vehicle control technology for battery electric vehicles. The invention aims to adapt coast control to driving conditions, including downhill grades and variable loads.
