Brake boost assist implementing modified pressure versus actuator displacement profiles

A brake assistance system of a host vehicle, the brake assistance system comprising:

• a memory configured to store at least one brake pressure versus brake actuator distance profile;
• an object detection module configured to detect a nearing object and determine at least one of a location of the object relative to the host vehicle and a distance between the host vehicle and the object;
• a brake assist module configured to determine a speed of the host vehicle relative to the object, and based on the speed of the host vehicle and at least one of the location of the object and the distance, i) to generate a brake apply alert message instructing a driver of the host vehicle to actuate brakes of the host vehicle, and ii) to initiate modification of the at least one brake pressure or force versus brake actuator distance profile or selection of one of the at least one brake pressure or force versus brake actuator distance profile, to provide a boosted brake pressure or force profile for assisted braking;
• and
• an electronic control module configured to control brake pressure or force according to the boosted brake pressure or force profile to provide the assisted braking.
