Abstract
The present invention pertains a method and a system for controlling a stand-by braking torque applied to an automotive vehicle under a condition of approaching or following an obstacle preceding the vehicle, the automotive vehicle having a powering system for applying a driving torque to the vehicle in response to an operator power demand. A brake controller executes a series of instructions for determining a variable indicative of dynamic situation of the vehicle, for sampling the determined values of the dynamic situation indicative variable immediately before an operator braking action to reduce the speed of the vehicle is imminent, for using the sampled values of the dynamic situation indicative variable as a basis to establish a parameter, and for using the established parameter as a basis to determine a target value of stand-by braking torque.
