Abstract
The present invention pertains a controlling scheme for brake torque, which is applied, as a stand-by braking torque, to wheels of an automotive vehicle upon determination that operator braking action is imminent. A braking system applies brake torque in response to a brake signal The brake torque applied to the vehicle is monitored and the brake signal is modified based on the monitored brake torque to alter the brake torque.
