Abstract
A vehicle brake system includes a brake actuator associated with a wheel, the brake actuator having at least one moveable brake component, and a brake control system operative to determine a target rotational velocity of the wheel based at least in part on a relationship between an actual tire/road friction force and a target tire/road friction force, the brake control system determining a target position of the at least one moveable brake component based at least in part upon the target rotational velocity. The brake control system is operable to control actuation of the brake actuator based at least in part upon the target position of the at least one moveable brake component and at least in part based upon a current position of the at least one moveable brake component.
