Vehicle brake system with variable brake pedal feel

A vehicle braking system having variable braking control for automatically adjusting brake pedal feel to accommodate the stature of an operator of the vehicle, said system comprising:

• a brake pedal assembly;
• a brake pedal sensor for sensing effort applied to said brake pedal assembly and generating a signal indicative thereof;
• a brake actuator for generating braking force to be applied to one or more brakes on a vehicle;
• a position sensor for sensing a position characteristic of the vehicle operator which is generally indicative of stature of the vehicle operator and generating a position signal indicative thereof;
• and
• an electronic controller for receiving the sensed brake pedal effort signal and position signal and automatically controlling the amount of braking force applied to the one or more brakes by the actuator as a function of the sensed brake pedal effort signal and the sensed position signal.
