1. A system for reducing speed of a vehicle, comprising:

  • a braking device coupled to at least one wheel of the vehicle for applying a braking torque to the at least one wheel in response to a braking signal; and

    a controller having a control logic for determining whether or not there is a need for operator braking action, determining a stand-by braking torque when there is a need for operator braking action, determining a transition braking torque based on the stand-by braking torque and an automatic distance regulation (ADR) braking torque, and generating a braking signal for the braking device to apply the transition braking torque to at least one wheel of the vehicle.
