The present disclosure discloses a brake control system for use in a vehicle and a control method thereof. A brake control system may be configured to include a brake pad for braking the vehicle by pressing a brake disc provided in the vehicle, a measuring apparatus for measuring the vehicle speed, the wear level of the brake pad, the traveling distance of the vehicle, the braking distance of the vehicle, and the braking pressure applied by the brake pad to the brake disc at braking, and a controller connected with the measuring apparatus and for controlling an operation of the brake pad. The controller may compare an initial braking distance, which is a design value of the braking distance before initial traveling of the vehicle, with a current braking distance, which is a braking distance after traveling of the vehicle during a certain duration, and increase the braking pressure of the brake pad in response to the amount of increase in the braking distance, when the amount of increase in the braking distance, which is a difference value between the current braking distance and the initial braking distance, is out of a setting range. The brake control system may transmit and receive a wireless signal in a mobile communication network constructed according to 5G (Generation) communication.

The driving force control device includes: a requested driving force calculation unit configured to calculate requested driving force requested to the vehicle, in a coasting state where neither an accelerator operation nor a brake operation is performed by a driver; a power train control unit configured to control a gear ratio of the power train on the basis of the requested driving force and driving force that is achieved by the power train in the coasting state; a braking force calculation unit configured to calculate braking force required for achieving the requested driving force, when the requested driving force is smaller than driving force that is achieved by the power train at a gear ratio set by the power train control unit; and a brake control unit configured to cause the brake to generate the braking force calculated by the braking force calculation unit.

A power system is disclosed. The power system may include one or more memories and a controller. The controller may determine an exhaust temperature of an engine associated with a continuously variable transmission or a hybrid transmission. The controller may determine a target increase to the exhaust temperature based on the exhaust temperature failing to satisfy a threshold. The controller may determine, based on a lookup table, a target increase to a torque output of the engine based on the target increase to the exhaust temperature. The controller may cause a parasitic torque of the engine to be increased based on the target increase to the torque output.

A vehicle braking force control apparatus of the disclosure executes a slip rate reduction control to reduce a slip rate of any of wheels of a vehicle becoming equal to or greater than a predetermined slip rate threshold by automatically changing braking force applied to one or more of the wheels. The apparatus uses a first slip rate threshold as the predetermined slip rate threshold during a normal acceleration-and-deceleration control and a normal steering control. The apparatus uses a second slip rate threshold during a driving assist control. The second slip rate is set to a value smaller than the first slip rate threshold and near and smaller than the slip rate, at which a friction coefficient between the wheel and a surface of a road on which the vehicle moves is maximum.
