Abstract
Brake force distribution during an anti-lock braking (ABS) event in a vehicle using an electronic parking brake (EPB) force to supplement a primary brake pressure is described. In an example, an vehicle control system of the vehicle can detect when an ABS event is going to occur and a primary brake pressure can be applied to a rotor at a wheel of the vehicle using a primary brake system. An EPB brake pressure can be applied to the rotor using an EPB brake system to reduce the pressure required to be applied by the primary brake pressure. As a result, the primary brake system may be sized to accommodate normal braking and to accommodate ABS braking when supplemented by the EPB system.
