To guarantee the braking performance and safety of electric vehicles (EVs) and to improve their regenerative energy performance, a regenerative braking recuperation control strategy based on hierarchical coordinated control of an electrohydraulic brake system (eBooster) is proposed in this paper. First, considering the EV braking system characteristics, the eBooster model, vehicle dynamics model and energy recuperation model are established. Then, a hierarchical coordinated control strategy (HCCS) is proposed, and the top-level controller based on model predictive control (MPC) reasonably coordinates the braking torque according to the control objectives and constraints. Additionally, as per the eBooster characteristics, the bottom-level controller adopts a double closed-loop controller to improve the control accuracy and response speed. Finally, verification in the Simulink/AMESim joint simulation environment shows that the eBooster and the HCCS enable combined regenerative and hydraulic braking, which improves brake safety and performance.
