Regen / Dynamic Braking Impact
Estimate how much energy regenerative braking can recover on a trip with stop-and-go driving.
Inputs
Set vehicle mass, baseline consumption, trip distance and stop-and-go characteristics.
Vehicle & baseline
Average energy use without regen (e.g. from HEV drive calculator).
Stop-and-go & regen
Percentage of trip that involves repeated acceleration / braking.
Approx. speed change for each braking event (e.g. 120 → 0 km/h).
Used to estimate number of stops within the stop-and-go segment.
Fraction of kinetic energy captured into the battery.

Simplified model: uses kinetic energy from braking events in the stop-and-go segment and assumes
constant baseline consumption. Real-world results depend on speed profile, gradients, tyres, and controls.
