Claim 4:
5. A vehicle control system for controlling braking in a vehicle, the system comprising:
a braking system operably coupled to one or more wheels of the vehicle to provide brake inputs to the one or more wheels responsive to a torque request generated based on pedal position;
a pedal position sensor operably coupled to a brake pedal to determine the pedal position responsive to actuation of the brake pedal by a driver of the vehicle;
a pedal feel simulator operably coupled to the brake pedal to provide tactile feedback to the driver via a pedal force applied to the brake pedal;
an accelerometer for determining a rate of velocity reduction of the vehicle during the actuation of the brake pedal; and
a feedback augmenter operably coupled to the pedal feel simulator to provide a pedal force offset to increase the pedal force provided to the brake pedal based on the rate of velocity reduction,
wherein the pedal force offset is determined based on force versus travel characteristics of the vehicle, and
wherein the force versus travel characteristics comprise pedal force versus pedal travel.
