Abstract
An apparatus and a method of controlling an electronic parking brake are provided to prevent collision with a preceding vehicle by generating additional target clamping force through interoperation with an advanced emergency brake system (AEBS) to improve performance of the AEBS. The apparatus includes an electric parking brake (EPB) that generates target clamping force and an information collector that collects a primary warning signal and a primary demanded deceleration by interoperating with an AEBS. A controller operates the EPB to perform a preparation process for braking when the primary warning signal is collected and perform braking until a primary actual deceleration corresponding to the primary demanded deceleration is measured when the primary demanded deceleration is collected.
Claims20
An apparatus of controlling an electronic parking brake, comprising:
- an electric parking brake (EPB) configured to generate target clamping force;
- an information collector configured to collect a primary warning signal and a primary demanded deceleration by interoperating with an advanced emergency brake system (AEBS);
- and
- a controller configured to operate the EPB to perform a preparation process for braking when the primary warning signal is collected and perform braking until a primary actual deceleration that corresponds to the primary demanded deceleration is measured when the primary demanded deceleration is collected,
- wherein the controller is configured to operate the EPB to assist target clamping force of the AEBS.
A method of controlling an electronic parking brake, comprising:
- collecting, by an information collector, a primary warning signal from an advanced emergency brake system (AEBS);
- performing, by a controller, a preparation process for braking;
- collecting, by the information collector, a primary demanded deceleration from the AEBS;
- and
- operating, by the controller, an electric parking brake (EPB) to perform braking until a primary actual deceleration that corresponds to the primary demanded deceleration is measured,
- wherein the controller is configured to operate the EPB to assist target clamping force of the AEBS.
