Disclosed herein are control apparatus for electronic parking brake system and control method thereof. The control apparatus for electronic parking brake system and control method includes an inputter configured to receive an abnormal operation signal from an electronic stability control (ESC) system when a vehicle stopping control function is abnormally performed in the ESC system; a determiner configured to determine whether an operation availability signal of an electronic parking brake (EPB) system is input from the EPB system, when the abnormal operation signal is input; and a controller configured to transmit a control command to the EPB system to activate the EPB system and have the EPB system perform a braking operation, when the operation availability signal of the EPB is input.

One embodiment provides a vehicle brake hydraulic pressure control apparatus configured to perform a vehicle hold control which controls a brake hydraulic pressure when a vehicle comes to a halt. The vehicle brake hydraulic pressure control apparatus includes: a behavior determination section configured to determine whether or not a behaving amount in a lateral direction of the vehicle is equal to or larger than a first threshold; and an operation determination section configured to determine whether or not a control member provided to control the vehicle is operated. Further, the vehicle hold control is canceled at least when the behavior determination section determines that the behaving amount is equal to or larger than the first threshold and the operation determination section determines that the control member is operated.

A control method for preventing backward slipping of a vehicle includes a range detection step in which a controller detects a range position of a shift lever, a gradient comparison step in which the controller compares a gradient of a road with a predetermined reference gradient when it is determined that the position of the shift lever is the D range, a stop state check step where the controller checks a brake and a driving state of the vehicle when it is determined at the gradient comparison step that the gradient of the road is equal to or greater than the reference gradient, and an inter-lock implementation step in which the controller engages multiple gears on an identical shaft when it is determined at the stop state check step that the brake is on and the vehicle has stopped.

A stopping control apparatus for a vehicle includes: a braking apparatus; a gear-type automatic transmission installed in a powertrain; and a control device configured to control the braking apparatus and the automatic transmission. The control device is configured to shift, after a vehicle transitions from a travel state to a stop state, a range of the automatic transmission to a P range under a state where the braking force applied to wheels is a braking force for maintaining the vehicle in the stop state, and then reduce the braking force applied to the wheels. The control device is configured to change a decrease rate of the braking force such that the decrease rate after a time point at which a predetermined period has elapsed from a start of a decrease in the braking force is less than the decrease rate before the time point.

Disclosed herein are a vehicle control apparatus and a vehicle control method thereof. The vehicle control apparatus includes an input unit to receive first current heat energy calculation information, receive second current heat energy calculation information, and receive a current degree of slope; an estimator to estimate a current temperature of the brake apparatus on the basis of information regarding the difference between the first current heat energy calculation information and the second current heat energy calculation information; a compensator to compensate for braking power between the brake apparatus and the brake friction material; and a controller to receive the first current heat energy calculation information, the second current heat energy calculation information, and the current degree of slope, transmit an estimation command to the estimator, and transmit a compensation command to the compensator.

Systems and methods are provided for variable actuation and release of a vehicle's brake hold mechanism/function. A brake hold device may be implemented as a tuner or controller that can connect to and override, e.g., the default functionality of an existing brake hold mechanism of a vehicle. Delays in exiting a brake hold state, repetitive actuation of an accelerator to exit a brake hold state, and other shortcomings associated with the conventional operation of brake hold mechanisms may be avoided by taking into account relevant vehicle operating conditions or environmental/road/traffic conditions.

Disclosed herein is a brake system including a main brake applying braking force to a wheel of a vehicle when the vehicle travels, a parking brake applying braking force to the wheel of the vehicle when the vehicle is parked, and a parking brake controller operating the main brake when the parked vehicle is sensed to move above a predetermined reference value and stopping the operation of the main brake after increasing locking force of the parking brake when the movement of the vehicle is stopped according to the operation of the main brake.

A method and system are provided for controlling parking. The method includes measuring a road surface friction coefficient or an inclination angle of a road surface and detecting a parking braking force by a parking motor of a parking system. A minimum parking braking force necessary for the parking is calculated using at least one of the road surface friction coefficient, the inclination angle, and a vehicle weight. The parking braking force and the minimum parking braking force are then compared to determine whether the parking is possible.

A brake control method includes: determining whether the acceleration amount in a brake release operation of a vehicle is equal to or larger than the deceleration amount in a brake operation of the vehicle when a parking brake device that is driven by a motor performs braking control with anti-lock control for alternately repeating the brake operation and the brake release operation while the vehicle is travelling; and restricting the anti-lock control from being performed when the acceleration amount is equal to or larger than the deceleration amount.

An all-terrain vehicle may include a frame and a plurality of ground-engaging members supporting the frame. The all-terrain vehicle may further include a powertrain assembly supported by the frame and shiftable transmission supported by the frame and operably coupled to the powertrain assembly. The all-terrain vehicle may also include a display, a back-up camera, and a controller supported by the frame. The controller may be configured to receive a signal from the shiftable transmission corresponding to the shiftable transmission being in a gear of the plurality of gears other than a reverse gear. Further, the controller may be configured to determine the all-terrain vehicle is moving backwards and send an activation signal to the back-up camera to display images of the back-up camera on the display.
