Abstract
A brake control system (10) for an automotive vehicle (12) is provided. The system (10) includes a vehicle sensor complex (16) that generates a vehicle sensor complex signal and an object detection system (14) that generates an object detection signal. A brake controller (22) is electrically coupled to the vehicle sensor complex and the object detection system. The controller (22) in response to the vehicle sensor complex signal and the object detection signal generates a brake ramping control signal. Controller (22) adjusts brake pressure in response to the brake ramping control signal. A method for performing the same is also provided.
