1. A method for controlling braking of a vehicle during a braking event, the method comprising the steps of:
- calculating, via a processor, a plurality of pressures during the braking event, each of the plurality of pressures calculated based on a different one of a plurality of driver requests detected via a sensor; and
providing, via the processor, pressure equal to a corresponding one of the plurality of pressure values if the vehicle is stationary and any of the plurality of pressures are less than a predetermined pressure threshold; and
providing, via the processor, pressure equal to the predetermined pressure threshold if the vehicle is stationary and none of the plurality of pressures are less than the predetermined pressure threshold.

Abstract
A method for controlling braking of a vehicle includes the steps of calculating a first pressure based on a driver request, and providing pressure that does not exceed a predetermined pressure threshold if the vehicle is stationary and the first pressure is less than the predetermined pressure threshold.
