Abstract:
1. A vehicle comprising: a brake pedal having a detectable travel position and a detectable apply force; a travel sensor configured to measure the detectable travel position; a force sensor configured to measure the detectable apply force; at least one electronic braking system component configured for braking the vehicle in response to at least one of the detectable travel position and the detectable apply force; and a controller in communication with the travel and force sensors, the controller having a stored threshold apply force, wherein the controller is configured to determine a first braking torque request from a force lookup table solely using the detectable apply force, a second braking torque request from a travel lookup table solely using the detectable travel position, and a third braking force request which selectively transitions from the first braking torque request to the second braking torque request using a linear data fitting operation that interpolates between the force lookup table and the travel lookup table; wherein the controller is further configured to apply the at least one electronic braking system component using:
