  • Electronic brake system controls adaptation based upon brake component condition
    Patent number: 8751129
    Abstract: A method of operating a brake system comprises determining a predicted braking effectiveness for a plurality of vehicle braking operations and determining an actual braking effectiveness for the plurality of vehicle braking operations. The predicted braking effectiveness is compared to the actual braking effectiveness. An adjustment factor for the brake system is determined based upon the comparison and the brake system response is adjusted based on the determined adjustment factor.
