Abstract

A control system for an electrified vehicle includes a friction brake system configured to apply a frictional force to a driveline system of the electrified vehicle to decelerate the electrified vehicle and a controller configured to detect an upcoming downhill grade and, in response to detecting the upcoming downhill grade, predict a thermal parameter of the friction brake system during the upcoming downhill grade and control enablement/disablement of a power dissipation mode of the electrified vehicle when the predicted thermal parameter exceeds a thermal parameter threshold corresponding to overheating of the friction brake system, wherein the power dissipation mode includes intentionally dissipating at least some of the electrified vehicle's potential energy using a set of power dissipation components of the electrified vehicle.
