Abstract

Systems and methods for facilitating an automatic adjustment of a braking system is provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method can comprise generating, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a braking curve model based on braking usage pattern data corresponding to one or more vehicles. The computer-implemented method can also comprise adjusting, by the system, a supplemental braking component of the first vehicle based on a simulation of one or more braking components corresponding to the one or more vehicles, wherein the one or more braking components is represented by the braking curve model.
