<p>An emergency accelerator braking system for a vehicle; the vehicle including and accelerator pedal and a separate brake pedal for control of the vehicle; the braking system reactive to position and movement of the accelerator pedal of the vehicle; the system characterized by transmission to a control module of control pedal behaviour data comprising at least one of force data representative of force applied by a driver to the accelerator pedal and position data representative of the relative position of the accelerator pedal, and wherein braking force is gradually increased and decreased by operation of the accelerator pedal over at least a portion of travel of the accelerator pedal; the system arranged to switch to an emergency braking mode on sensing rapid movement of the accelerator pedal above a predetermined threshold value in a decelerating direction.</p> |
