Abstract
A vehicle may comprise: an electro-mechanical brake system comprising an electric motor mechanically connected to a brake pad assembly for performing a service brake operation and a parking brake operation; and a controller configured to, if the service brake operation has been performed by the electric motor of the electro-mechanical brake system for more than a preset time while the vehicle is stopped, control the electro-mechanical brake system to perform the parking brake operation such that a brake is automatically held by the parking brake operation without actuation of the electric motor of the electro-mechanical brake system.

A vehicle comprising:
- an electro-mechanical brake system comprising an electric motor mechanically connected to a brake pad assembly for performing a service brake operation and a parking brake operation;
- and
- a controller configured to, when the service brake operation has been performed by the electric motor of the electro-mechanical brake system for more than a preset time while the vehicle is stopped, control the electro-mechanical brake system to perform the parking brake operation such that a brake is automatically held by the parking brake operation without actuation of the electric motor of the electro-mechanical brake system.
A vehicle comprising:
- an electro-mechanical brake system comprising an electric motor mechanically connected to a brake pad assembly for performing a service brake operation and a parking brake operation;
- and
- a controller configured to, in response to a command of activating automatic brake hold for automatically holding the vehicle stopped while the service brake operation is being performed by the electric motor of the electro-mechanical brake system, control the electro-mechanical brake system to perform the parking brake operation so that a brake is automatically held by the parking brake operation without actuation of the electric motor of the electro-mechanical brake system.
A computerized method comprising:
- monitoring whether a service brake operation has been performed by an electric motor of an electro-mechanical brake system for more than a preset time while a vehicle is stopped, wherein the electro-mechanical brake system comprises the electric motor mechanically connected to a brake pad assembly for performing the service brake operation and a parking brake operation;
- and
- when the service brake operation has been performed by the electric motor of the electro-mechanical brake system for more than a preset time while the vehicle is stopped, controlling the electro-mechanical brake system to perform the parking brake operation such that a brake is automatically held by the parking brake operation without actuation of the electric motor of the electro-mechanical brake system.
