Abstract
A system and method for controlling a vehicle wheel brake are provided. The system includes one or more inertial sensors disposed within a handle coupled to, and configured for movement relative to, a fixed reference frame in the vehicle between a neutral position and one or more input positions. Each sensor generates an inertial measurement signal indicative of a value of an inertial measurement associated with movement of the handle and sensor between the neutral and input positions. A controller receives the signals, identifies a turning point in a rate of change of the value of one of the inertial measurement indicated by the signals, and generates an operator command signal when the value meets a predetermined condition. The operator command signal is configured to cause one of application or release of the wheel brake.
