Abstract
A brake pedal adjustment system for a brake by wire braking system includes: a target module configured to selectively determine a target resting position for a brake pedal based on at least one of: a leg length of a driver of a vehicle; a foot size of the driver of the vehicle; a longitudinal position of a driver's seat of the vehicle; a position of a steering wheel of the vehicle; and an angle of a seat back of the driver's seat of the vehicle; and an actuation module configured to actuate a brake pedal actuator thereby adjusting a resting position of the brake pedal to the target resting position.
