System and method for braking a vehicle by reducing the amount of powertrain braking to prevent wheel lock up

摘要

A method and system for braking a vehicle having multiple traction wheels are disclosed wherein the vehicle is configured to apply friction braking and powertrain braking to the vehicle. The method comprises reducing the powertrain braking by a predetermined amount; compensating the friction braking in an amount that is substantially the same as the predetermined amount; redistributing the friction braking to the multiple wheels; and modulating the friction braking being applied to the multiple wheels. This method may also be applied to hybrid vehicles.
