Abstract

A method and system for controlling an anti-lock brake system cycle rate in a vehicle wherein the cycle includes a primary apply stage and a secondary apply stage in which increasing pressure is applied to the brake. The primary and secondary stages are separated by a hold stage in which a substantially constant pressure is applied to the brake for a time interval which varies as a function of the estimated average vehicle deceleration.
