<p>In a vehicle braking system with electronic brake distribution the threshold level of slip of the rear wheels 14a, 14b is increased when the front brake temperature is estimated to have increased to a level where brake fade will occur. This allows more braking torque to be applied to the rear wheels 14a, 14b, to counteract the brake fade at the front wheels 10a, 10b. This increase in threshold slip is, however, overridden if the vehicle is cornering, as detected by a lateral accelerometer 50 or a wheel speed difference across the vehicle, to avoid a reduction in vehicle stability during cornering. <IMAGE></p> |
