Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: determining a value of a setpoint for an operating parameter of a braking system, the parameter selected from a group consisting of a braking pressure and a braking force, wherein the determined value is within a range of setpoint values that are physically implementable by the braking system, the determining being as a function of at least one operation selected from a group consisting of a brake pedal input by a user and operation of at least one other control system; reducing the setpoint from the determined value to a limit value upon a determination that the vehicle is in a standstill condition and that the determined value is greater than the limit value; regulating the braking system to implement the setpoint limit value for the operating parameter; detecting that the vehicle is no longer in the standstill condition after regulating the braking system to implement the limit value of the setpoint; increasing the setpoint from the limit value to a second limit value; and regulating the braking system to implement the second limit value of the setpoint; wherein the second limit value is less than the initially determined value.
