Abstract
A brake control system determines utilizes a sensed amount of brake travel and a sensed amount of master cylinder pressure in determining a base brake control signal for an electro-hydraulic brake management system. The system also provides a springer function to provide an appropriate amount of brake jump-in, based on vehicle velocity and pedal travel. For pure brake-by-wire systems that have no hydraulic components, brake force is substituted for master cylinder pressure in determining a base brake control signal.
