Abstract
A method is provided for adaptively determining an anti-block braking strategy that includes monitoring a distance differential of at least one target in proximity to a driven vehicle. An anti-lock braking strategy is determined as a function of the distance differential. The anti-locking braking strategy is applied as a function of the distance differential.
Claims21
A method for adaptively determining an anti-lock braking strategy, the method comprising the steps of:
- monitoring a distance differential of at least one target in proximity to a driven vehicle;
- determining an anti-lock braking strategy as a function of said distance differential;
- and
- applying said anti-lock braking strategy as a function of said distance differential wherein an anti-lock braking system optimizes said braking strategy between a determined stopping a distance and vehicle stability control in response to said distance differential
(canceled)
A method for adaptively determining an anti-lock braking strategy, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining a distance available to stop between a driven vehicle and a target;
- determining a maximum distance required to stop between said driven vehicle and said target;
- determining if said distance available to stop is greater than said maximum distance required to stop;
- and
- adopting an anti-lock braking strategy using maximum vehicle stability controls in response to said distance available to stop being greater than said maximum distance required to stop.
A vehicle control system comprising:
- an adaptive speed control system that monitors a speed of at least one target in relation to a driven vehicle;
- and
- a braking control system operating in an anti-lock braking control state for enhancing vehicle stability;
- wherein said adaptive speed control system provides speed data to said braking control system for determining a secondary braking control strategy.
