A control system for a vehicle having vehicle wheels comprises: brakes, wherein each of the brakes applies individual braking to a respective one of the vehicle wheels; memory storing brake characteristic parameters for controlling each of the brakes; and a processor configured to: calculate anticipated yaw, steering torque, and deceleration of the vehicle, associated with operation of the brakes; compare between the anticipated yaw and actual yaw of the vehicle, between the anticipated steering torque and actual steering torque of the vehicle, and between the anticipated deceleration and actual deceleration of the vehicle; and calibrate the brakes by adjusting the stored brake characteristic parameters of each of the brakes in response to a yaw difference between the anticipated yaw and the actual yaw, a steering torque difference between the anticipated steering torque and the actual steering torque, and a deceleration difference between the anticipated deceleration and the actual deceleration.

In the solution put forth, a pressure level of a pump in a hydraulic transmission system of a hydraulic working machine, or power that is feedable to an electric drive motor of an electric working machine is monitored, and/or the rotation speed at the output of the drive motor of the working machine and the rotation of moving means of the working machine are monitored. The pressure level of the hydraulic power transmission pump, or the power feedable to an electric drive motor, is compared with a lower threshold value to detect a fault situation, and/or the rotation speed at the output of the drive motor is compared with the rotation of the moving means also to detect a fault situation. In case a fault situation is detected, the braking system of the working machine is controlled to apply the brakes.

Disclosed is a corner module apparatus for a vehicle. The corner module apparatus includes processors configured to receive a braking initiation manipulation input of a vehicle from a driver. The corner module apparatus also includes a controller configured to perform braking of the vehicle by independently controlling steering of four wheels of the vehicle based on a direction angle when the braking initiation manipulation input is received by the one or more processors in a state in which the vehicle is positioned on the slope. The direction angle is an angle between an inclined direction of a slope and a longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
