This talk introduces a novel method of realizing an integrated driving-braking control unit for electric vehicles which integrated electric driving applications and braking section based on the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control. Six-step commutation is adopted for the driving unit as well as the braking unit of a customized brushless DC hub motor (BLDCHM). For the braking section, two ways are jointed together for adjustment of the braking torque. One is related to hardware implementation, using a variety of dummy loads we are able to change the braking torque from an artificially generated short circuit to the motor. The other is to proceed the idea from software design, using a program to alternate duty cycle of the pulse width modulated commands for braking torque adjustment according to the road condition. On the basis of this function, we are able to create the effect of anti-locked brakes. The proposed integrated driving-braking design has been successfully realized in an electric bike and a scooter with BLDCHM for propulsion. The design has also been verified via extended real-world experiments.
