Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for electrical power conservation during braking for autonomous or assisted driving vehicles, such as when electrical currents are continuously supplied to the brake system when the vehicle is temporarily halted at a slope. Braking hysteresis is the relationship between the input (e.g., operating pressure, caused by an electrical motor to increase the fluid pressures in the brake system) and the output (e.g., braking pressure applied by the brake pads on the rotors), in which the change of the output is different during the increase of the input and during the decrease of the input. The present disclosure provides techniques for conserving electrical power consumption by using the brake hysteresis.
