A system and method for operating a brake system of a vehicle including determining if the vehicle is stopped. Determining a current brake pressure, a braking deceleration and a dynamic brake pressure corresponding to the braking deceleration. Based on the current brake pressure and the dynamic brake pressure determining a differential brake pressure. A holding brake pressure for holding the vehicle is determined based on the differential brake pressure and operating the brake system with the holding brake pressure.

An automatic deceleration control device includes an electronic control unit including a central processing unit, the electronic control unit configured to: acquire road-type information that is information about a type of a road on which a vehicle is traveling; set a maximum deceleration based on the road-type information; and output a signal to decelerate the vehicle at a first deceleration that is equal to or lower than the maximum deceleration, when an actual vehicle speed of the vehicle exceeds a target vehicle speed of the vehicle.

A method for controlling brake assemblies of a vehicle is provided. Receiving a deceleration of each wheel assembly of a plurality of wheel assemblies of the vehicle. Comparing the deceleration of each wheel assembly to an average deceleration of the plurality of wheel assemblies. Responsive to one or more of the deceleration of each wheel assembly of one or more wheel assemblies being outside a predetermined range of the average deceleration of the plurality of wheel assemblies, reporting a warning message to a maintenance crew to inspect one or more brake assemblies associated with the one or more wheel assemblies.

A vehicle control apparatus may include at least a brake, at least a sensor, a memory, and a processor. The vehicle control apparatus may identify, based on the at least a sensor, braking information including at least one of host vehicle driving speed, host vehicle acceleration, required acceleration, other-vehicle acceleration, whether to use the first brake, or braking pressure by the second brake, or any combination thereof if a braking trigger signal for a host vehicle is identified, and may perform, by selectively using the first brake and the second brake, braking control for the host vehicle based on the braking information.

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.
