Examples provide a system and method for controlled deceleration for parking a vehicle. The system includes a parking brake control device, a sensor configured to measure a speed of the vehicle and output a measured vehicle speed, a parking brake, a primary hydraulic system including a primary controller and a primary hydraulic pressure generator, and a secondary hydraulic system including a secondary controller and a secondary hydraulic pressure generator. The secondary controller is configured to determine whether the vehicle is travelling at a non-zero speed while the parking brake control device is actuated. In response to that determination, the secondary controller determines whether hydraulic braking via the primary hydraulic system is available. When hydraulic braking via the primary hydraulic system is not available, the secondary controller controls the secondary hydraulic pressure generator to generate hydraulic braking pressure.

A method of operating a brake system for a motor vehicle, the brake system has a parking brake device and actuating the parking brake device for generating a parking braking force on a wheel of the motor vehicle is only permitted if a speed value falls below a speed threshold value. As such, the speed value is determined from a measured speed value corresponding at least temporarily to a speed of the motor vehicle. If the measured speed value falls below the speed value, the speed value is made to track the measured speed value with a speed gradient limited to a speed gradient limit value.

A vehicle control device includes an information acquirer that acquires information on driving conditions of a vehicle at least containing a steering angle and a vehicle speed, a distribution amount setter that sets a distribution amount of a brake force to each of multiple wheels provided in the vehicle based on the driving conditions of the vehicle; and a brake controller that performs brake control of each of the multiple wheels according to the distribution amount set by the distribution amount setter. When the vehicle speed is equal to or lower than a 22nd vehicle speed value within a low vehicle speed range, the distribution amount setter sets the distribution amount of a brake force to each of the multiple wheels including a specific wheel to a value which is smaller than a distribution amount when the vehicle speed exceeds the 22nd vehicle speed value.
