Abstract
A vehicle control system may include a brake pedal position sensor, a braking torque module, an accelerator pedal position sensor, and a brake augmenter. The brake pedal position sensor is operably coupled to a brake pedal to determine a brake pedal position responsive to actuation of the brake pedal by an operator. The braking torque module is operably coupled to wheels of the vehicle to provide negative torque to the wheels based on the brake pedal position when an EBB system is in an operable state. The accelerator pedal position sensor is operably coupled to an accelerator pedal to determine accelerator pedal position for generation of positive torque to the wheels based on the accelerator pedal position when the EBB system is in the operable state. The brake augmenter is operably coupled to the accelerator pedal position sensor to provide a negative torque input to the wheels responsive to the accelerator pedal position sensor indicating a first range of pedal positions and a positive torque input to the wheels responsive to the accelerator pedal position sensor indicating a second range of pedal positions when the EBB system is in an inoperable state.
