Adaptive Electronic Brake System Control Apparatus and Method

摘要

A vehicle has a controller with a threshold brake pedal apply force and an algorithm for determining a first braking torque request corresponding to a pedal apply force, a second braking torque request corresponding to a pedal travel position, and a calculated third braking torque request. The third torque request is calculated by multiplying the first torque request by an average percentage variance of the second to the first torque request. An adaptive electronic brake system (EBS) includes force and travel sensors connected to a brake pedal for determining a force-based and travel position braking torque request, and an algorithm for adapting one of the force-based and travel position-based braking torque requests to the other despite variances over time in a force/travel relationship therebetween.
