A braking control device includes a first control unit configured to execute first control for reducing a target braking force, which is either a front-wheel braking force to be applied to front wheels of a vehicle or a rear-wheel braking force to be applied to rear wheels during increasing of deceleration of the vehicle, in a case that a behavior of the vehicle is unstable as the target braking force is increased; and a second control unit configured to execute second control for reducing a rate of increase in the target braking force and increasing a rate of increase in the front-wheel braking force or the rear-wheel braking force, which is not the target braking force, prior to execution of the first control.

A braking force control system is configured to, when a vehicle is decelerated by driving support control, on an assumption that a predetermined deceleration is generated in the vehicle, set a distribution ratio between a braking force that is applied to a front wheel and a braking force that is applied to a rear wheel such that a degree of a specific position in which a front of the vehicle is lower than a rear of the vehicle is not greater than a predetermined degree.

A controller for a vehicle, a system, a vehicle, a method, a computer program and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed. The controller is configured to receive an indication of a measured speed of the vehicle, and determine whether a gradient on which the vehicle is located is below a threshold gradient.

A method for operating a motor vehicle, which is equipped with a plurality of wheels and with a plurality of electric machines. Each electric machine can be coupled to at least one wheel and be operated in a plurality of operating modes.

A method for operating a hydraulic brake system of a motor vehicle includes enabling a parking brake function by actuating a pressure generator and an actuator such that the pressure generator and the actuator together generate a total clamping force at a wheel brake, and actuating the pressure generator based on a movement of an actuator element and/or a brake piston, the movement generated by the actuator. The brake system includes the wheel brake having the brake piston, a brake pedal device, the pressure generator configured to actuate the wheel brake, the actuator assigned to the wheel brake and having the actuator element configured to actuate the wheel brake. A force that displaces the brake piston in order to actuate the wheel brake is generated by the pressure generator and/or the actuator.

A stability control system of a vehicle utilizing an electronic control unit that minimizes rollback of a vehicle as a result of wheel slip immediately following a hill start assist operation. The electronic braking control module controls actuation and de-actuation of vehicle brakes on an inclined surface. Immediately following a hill start assist operation on the inclined surface after each wheel brake is de-actuated for allowing forward movement of the vehicle up the hill, a split-mu road surface condition is detected in response to sensing wheel slip for each of the wheels. The electronic control unit determines a respective undriven, or non-dominant driven, wheel having the highest coefficient of friction among the undriven, or less dominant driven wheels, as determined by the wheel speeds. The electronic braking control module actuates the vehicle brake of the undriven, or less dominant, driven wheels having the highest coefficient of friction relative to a tire/road surface interface for reducing rollback of the vehicle. The braking of the undriven, or less dominant, driven wheel is in addition to any standard stability control braking that may already be occurring.

A method for controlling a differential braking arrangement of a vehicle, said vehicle comprising at least one auxiliary braking arrangement and at least one differential braking arrangement, said auxiliary braking arrangement and said differential braking arrangement being connected to a pair of propelled wheels of said vehicle, wherein the differential braking arrangement is arranged to control a relative rotational speed between the pair of propelled wheels, wherein the method comprises the steps of receiving a signal indicative of a downhill slope for a road ahead of said vehicle; determining an inclination of said downhill slope; determining a braking power needed for the at least one auxiliary braking arrangement for preventing the vehicle speed of the vehicle from exceeding a predetermined speed limit when driving at the downhill slope; and engaging the at least one differential braking arrangement for reducing the relative rotational speed between the propelled wheels if the determined braking power of the at least one auxiliary braking arrangement is higher than a predetermined threshold.

A system and a method for preventing a vehicle from rolling away are described. According to one method aspect, in the case of a vehicle equipped with several EPB actuators, the activation of only one of these EPB actuators takes place if in the case of a road inclination lying below a threshold value the vehicle begins to roll away from the stationary state.

Disclosed is a vehicle attitude control system for controlling the attitude of a vehicle in which a road wheel suspension is configured such that a roll axis of a vehicle body inclines downwardly in a forward direction. The vehicle attitude control system includes: a lateral acceleration sensor operable to detect a lateral acceleration; a brake actuator operable to apply a braking force; and a brake control device operable, based on a traveling state of the vehicle, to generate the braking force, wherein the brake control device is configured to execute vehicle attitude control of applying, to an inner rear road wheel, a larger braking force when the lateral acceleration of the vehicle is relatively large than when the lateral acceleration is relatively small, thereby suppressing uplift of an inner rear portion of the vehicle body.
