Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to reduce end of stop jerk are disclosed. An example vehicle includes a user interface, a brake system, and a controller to execute instructions to detect a command to engage the brake system at a command brake pressure, estimate a time until the vehicle comes to a stop, and in response to determining that the time satisfies a time threshold, engage the brake system at a delivered brake pressure less than the command brake pressure.
Claims20
A vehicle including:
- a user interface;
- a brake system;
- and
- a controller to execute instructions to:
- detect a command to engage the brake system at a command brake pressure;
- estimate a time until the vehicle comes to a stop;
- and
- in response to determining that the time satisfies a time threshold, engage the brake system at a delivered brake pressure less than the command brake pressure.
A method including:
- detecting a command to engage a brake of a vehicle at a command brake pressure;
- estimating a time until the vehicle comes to a stop;
- and
- in response to determining that the time satisfies a time threshold, engaging the brake at a delivered brake pressure less than the command brake pressure.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed cause a processor to at least:
- detect a command to engage a brake of a vehicle at a command brake pressure;
- estimate a time until the vehicle comes to a stop;
- and
- in response to determining that the time satisfies a time threshold, engage the brake at a delivered brake pressure less than the command brake pressure.
