Patent ID: 7926889

Claim:
A system for controlling dynamic braking of an electric utility vehicle, comprising: a brake pedal position sensor that generates a brake position signal corresponding to a position of a brake pedal; an accelerator position sensor that generates an accelerator signal corresponding to a position of an accelerator pedal; and a controller that receives the brake position signal and the accelerator signal and transmits a motor control signal to a motor based on the brake position signal and the accelerator pedal signal, and the controller stores a value indicative of an amount of at least one of current, voltage, and power to maintain electric utility vehicle in a stopped state on the hill after the park brake function is disabled or disengaged when the electric utility vehicle achieves a first predetermined speed, and the controller generates the motor control signal in accordance with the stored value when the accelerator signal indicates a command to increase the speed of the electric utility vehicle above a second predetermined speed.
