Abstract

When the vehicle speed falls below a predetermined reference speed, the measured vehicle deceleration is used to calculate an extrapolated time when the vehicle will be brought to a complete stop. When the extrapolated time is reached, the brake pressure is automatically applied and maintained until a desired departure is indicated.
