Abstract
Disclosed herein an electric parking brake (EPB) system includes an EPB configured to provide a clamping force to a vehicle for parking; and a controller configured to engage the EPB; wherein the controller is configured to determine whether the vehicle is in an early stage of vehicle release or an early stage of brake pad replacement based on a driving distance and brake pad replacement information of the vehicle during a parking operation, and upon determining that the vehicle is in the early stages of vehicle release or brake pad replacement, compensate for a target clamping force of the EPB and perform the parking operation based on the compensated target clamping force.
