A method of controlling brake usage of a vehicle may include determining a set of parameters based on vehicle data and environmental data, creating a hierarchical classification of the set of parameters based on an effect of each of the set of parameters on vehicle stopping distance, receiving sensor data from a sensor suite of the vehicle associated with the set of parameters, and determining whether a condition has been triggered for each parameter of the set of parameters based on the sensor data and the hierarchal classification. Responsive to the condition being triggered for any parameter of the set of parameters, the method may enable front and rear wheel braking, and responsive to no condition being triggered for the set of parameters, the method may enable only one of the front or rear wheel braking.
