Brake assist driver command for vehicles

摘要

A method for controlling a braking system in a vehicle during a panic braking event includes the steps of determining a magnitude of force applied to the brake pedal, determining a first level of braking that would result from the magnitude of force applied to the brake pedal if there were no panic braking event, and applying a second level of braking equal to the lesser of the following: the maximum braking capacity, and the level of braking that would result from the magnitude of force applied to the brake pedal if there were no panic braking event, multiplied by a predetermined constant.
