Collision mitigation by braking system

A method of controlling a braking system for an automotive vehicle comprising:

• generating a vehicle sensor complex signal;
• generating an object detection signal;
• generating a brake ramping control signal in response to said vehicle sensor complex signal and said object detection signal;
• and
• adjusting brake pressure in response to said brake ramping control signal.

A brake control system for an automotive vehicle having a braking system comprising:

• a vehicle sensor complex generating a vehicle sensor complex signal;
• an object detection system generating an object detection signal;
• a collision controller electrically coupled to said vehicle sensor complex and said object detection system and generating a vehicle status signal and an object status signal in response to said vehicle sensor complex signal and said object detection signal;
• said collision controller generating a collision assessment signal in response to said vehicle status signal and said object status signal;
• and
• a brake controller electrically coupled to said collision controller comprising;
• a brake ramping correlator generating a brake ramping control signal in response to said vehicle status signal and said object status signal;
• said brake controller adjusting brake pressure in response to said brake ramping control signal.
