Design of a filling ratio observer for a hydraulic retarder: An analysis of vehicle thermal management and dynamic braking system

Hydraulic retarders are auxiliary braking devices that reduce vehicle speed by converting its kinetic energy into thermal energy of a working fluid. This study analyzes the torque-output characteristics of a new type of hydraulic retarder and optimizes its control strategy under different braking co...
