1. A system of energy storage and electrical motorization for a towed car of a convoy, the convoy being towed by a towing car, the system comprising:
an energy storage module, on the towed car, having the capacity to receive energy, to accumulate the energy over time and to restore the energy upon request in electrical form; a motor/generator, on the towed car, transforming electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa; an acceleration detector, on the towed car, configured to generate a first signal, the first signal indicating an acceleration undergone by the towed car; an inclinometer configured to generate a second signal, the second signal indicating an inclination of the car; and a controller, on the towed car, for establishing commands and providing control signals to different system components according to the first signal, the energy storage module accumulating energy from or restoring energy to the motor/generator, the motor/generator transforming energy received into mechanical energy and the controller automatically determining a motorization mode required by a movement of the convoy, including traction, braking or idle modes, based on the first signal and controlling the transfer of energy between the energy storage module, and motor/generator, the controller being configured to cause the motor/generator to progressively apply a tractive force in response to the first signal indicating a positive acceleration and the second signal indicating a null or positive slope, the tractive force thereby assisting the towing car. |
