A car braking system using a brake pedal position sensor and a braking method using the same are provided to utilize devices relevant to a brake, such as an ABS and a VDC, more efficiently and safely, and reduce danger of second collision at a rear end of the vehicle. A car braking system comprises a brake pedal position sensor(10) and a brake control unit(25). The brake pedal position sensor detects a shifted position of a brake pedal(1) and outputs a detection value. The brake control unit normally performs the braking operation when change of the output value of the brake pedal position sensor is less than a first preset value. When the change of the output value is not less than a third preset value greater than the first preset value, the brake control unit reduces output of an engine while automatically increasing braking effort to the maximum. A braking method using the system comprises steps of being input with the output value from the brake pedal position sensor, performing normal braking when the change of the output value is less than the first preset value, and reducing the engine output and maximizing the braking effort when the change is not less than the third preset value. |
