Claims16
An electronic parking brake system comprising:
- an electronic parking brake configured to provide a braking force to a vehicle;
- and
- a controller electrically connected to the electronic parking brake and configured to control the electronic parking brake,
- wherein the controller is configured to perform theft prevention control that dynamically controls the braking force of the electronic parking brake according to a driving state of a stolen vehicle by maintaining a target deceleration by controlling the electronic parking brake while the stolen vehicle is driving, and forcibly engaging the electronic parking brake while the stolen vehicle is stopping, based on reception of a theft prevention request.
A method of controlling an electronic parking brake system configured to control an electronic parking brake configured to provide a braking force to a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining whether a theft prevention request is received;
- determining a driving state of a stolen vehicle, based on the reception of the theft prevention request;
- and
- performing theft prevention control that dynamically controls the braking force of the electronic parking brake according to the driving state of the stolen vehicle, based on reception of a theft prevention request,
- wherein the performing of the theft prevention control comprises:
- performing deceleration control in which a deceleration of the stolen vehicle is maintained at a target deceleration until the stolen vehicle is stopped by engaging the electronic parking brake, based on driving of the stolen vehicle, and
