System and method for brake pedal feel control

A system, comprising:

• a brake pedal assembly including a brake pedal;
• a piston assembly connected to the brake pedal, the piston assembly including a fluid;
• and
• a controller configured to adjust a viscosity of the fluid to adjust a feel of the brake pedal, wherein the adjustment to the feel of the brake pedal is based on a comparison between a predetermined level of resistance to an input braking force and a measured input braking force.

A system, comprising:

• a brake pedal assembly including a brake pedal;
• a controller configured to adjust a feel of the brake pedal based on a comparison between a predetermined level of resistance to an input braking force and a measured input braking force;
• and
• a piston assembly provided between a midpoint of the pedal arm and a body of a vehicle, wherein the piston assembly includes a housing containing a piston, and wherein the housing is filled with a magneto-rheological fluid;
• wherein the brake pedal assembly includes a magnetic field generator in communication with the controller, the controller configured to adjust the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator to adjust the viscosity of the magneto-rheological fluid.

A system, comprising:

• a magnetic field generator;
• a brake pedal, wherein movement of the pedal is resisted by a magneto-rheological fluid;
• and
• a controller configured to adjust a feel of the pedal based on a comparison between a predetermined level of resistance to an input braking force and a measured input braking force, the controller configured to adjust the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator to adjust the viscosity of the magneto-rheological fluid.
